As Bates welcomed students back to campus in late August, Bates Communications videographer Theophil Syslo camped out in a few locations to capture this timelapse video.

The various scenes range from early-morning weedwacking outside Hedge Hall to the orderly flow into the Bates COVID-19 Testing Center at Underhill and this year’s super-quick (even before timelapse!) unloading of students’ stuff on Alumni Walk.
