Bobcat Nation turned out in force to welcome the 501-member Class of 2023 on Monday.<\/p>\n

Student leaders, 184 of them, were everywhere.<\/p>\n

Bates staff offered various sessions and programs for parents (plus a barbecue for everyone) while other staff took time from their day jobs to help greet families as they arrived at Commons in the morning.<\/p>\n

Top it off with President Clayton Spencer pitching in, lugging gear to the fourth floor of Parker in the morning, and welcoming families in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n

Soon after Opening Day’s 7 a.m. start, vehicles are parked end-to-end outside residence halls and houses all over campus, where they’re swiftly unloaded by dozens of student Orientation leaders.<\/p>\n

Otis Caron \u201923 gets a hug from his mother, Tammy Roy Caron, as he prepares to head to Bates, a move of just a few blocks.<\/p>\n

A Lewiston native, Otis is one of 48 first-year students from Maine and four from the Lewiston-Auburn area.<\/p>\n

Bright and early (for him), Caron lays his things on the living room sofa \u2014 a suitcase, assorted bags, a hamper that doubles as luggage. He\u2019ll make a couple trips in the family car to get moved into Parker Hall.<\/p>\n

Among Otis\u2019 items is a blown-up picture of himself and his friend and fellow first-year, Hunter Landry \u201923, wearing their Lewiston High School graduation clothes in front of St. Dominic Academy, where they went to elementary school.<\/p>\n

In the photo, they\u2019re holding Bates admission letters that Tammy, a senior visual designer at Bates, redesigned for the class. Otis’ dad, the late David Caron, passed away in 2009.<\/p>\n

Otis is no stranger to the Bates community. In addition to his mother’s long relationship with the college, he worked for Dining Services’ catering operation in high school and took Russian courses with Associate Professor of Russian Dennis Browne.<\/p>\n

Interested in languages and international affairs, he\u2019s eager to start his intermediate Russian courses and his First-Year Seminar, \u201cJapan on Screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, on the cusp of moving in, \u201cit\u2019s a whirlwind of emotions,\u201d Otis says. \u201cI\u2019m mostly very excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commons is the first stop for arriving first-years. They’re dropped off on the building’s Central Avenue side and, after, picking up ID cards and handling other check-in duties, they emerge on the other side of the dining hall.<\/p>\n

There, three Orientation Week Leaders \u2014 from left, Avery MacMullen, Gemma Rubi, and Shae Gwydir, all \u201920 \u2014 greet them with cheers, dancing, and then, if needed, directions to their dorm.<\/p>\n

Jake is looking forward to taking two philosophy courses, in contrast to the scarcity of electives at the high school level. \u201cI never had the opportunity to branch out,\u201d he says. \u201cThe new academic freedom is nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roommates Jackson Chung \u201923 of Nyack, N.Y., and Nathan Berry \u201923 of Augusta, Maine, hug the wall as a fellow first-year hauls his belongings up the Parker staircase. The new roommates were on their way down to move Berry\u2019s belongings into the room, where Chung had already settled.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about as close to an assembly line as you can get in a college dorm.<\/p>\n

When a new Bates family’s car pulls in front of Parker Hall, a swarm of OWLs descends, grabbing boxes and suitcases and minifridges and hauling them up flights of stairs, pausing just long enough to get the first-year\u2019s room number.<\/p>\n

Cars stay on Alumni Walk for just the time needed to unload; if one lingers longer, a security employee politely asks a parent or relative to move it.<\/p>\n

“This is a really big dorm!\u201d exclaims Gabi Meisel \u201923 of Chevy Chase, Md., as she sees her room on the fourth floor of Parker Hall. Indeed, in most rooms there\u2019s plenty of room for beds and desks without the need for lofting or bunking.<\/p>\n

Gabi gets to the room first; her parents, Deb and David Meisel, are not far behind. Gabi pulls out one unusual item she\u2019s brought from home: a big photo collage shaped like the letter G, a present from her aunt.<\/p>\n

Like the O’Haras, Gabi\u2019s parents are still amazed by the efficiency and friendliness of the student and staff volunteers, and they\u2019re impressed with the community their daughter has already found in the swim team, which she\u2019s soon to join.<\/p>\n

And Gabi herself? After all the campus visits and applications and scouting and decisions, she\u2019s relieved to finally be here. \u201cThis is where I need to be,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

He says Opening Day is about the \u201clittle things\u201d \u2014 carrying boxes, making rounds to introduce himself to each first-year as they move in, sharing songs that he solicited from his new residents over the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m making it feel like a place where they can spend four years and be happy,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Parents Mayu and Kimi Nakamura (right) help their daughter Ayano \u201923 (left) of Bethesda, Md., settle into her Chu Hall room.<\/p>\n

Behind them is roommate Lia Silberberg \u201923 of Jackson, Wyo., who had arrived earlier with her brother, Adam, who is a senior at Bowdoin.<\/p>\n

For Silberberg, setting up her room was the last leg of a long journey for the siblings \u2014 from Wyoming to New York, then a drive up the coast to Bowdoin, where Adam is a senior, then, finally, to Bates. Finishing the setup, they gratefully accepted a Bates custodian\u2019s offer to take away broken-down boxes for recycling.<\/p>\n

Silberberg, who is interested in law, is looking forward to taking a biomedical ethics course and, maybe, joining club ice hockey.<\/p>\n

As she settled in, Nakamura is asked if she brought anything special from home. In response, she pulls out Rirakuma, a stuffed bear designed in the style of Japanese animation.<\/p>\n

Nakamura also has a brother close by \u2014 a lot closer, in fact.<\/p>\n

Taihei Nakamura, a university student in Japan, is on campus for the year as a Hirasawa Scholar, participating in Bates’ historic program named after Kazushige Hirasawa \u201936 that brings Japanese university students to campus for one year.<\/p>\n

Taihei, though, is in next-door Kalperis Hall. \u201cWe requested different dorms,\u201d Ayano says.<\/p>\n

Despite the crowd, there\u2019s generally enough room to move around.<\/p>\n

Both Atwater (tennis) and Connors (rowing) are gearing up for the start of their athletics programs and have brought their favorite snacks from home. Connors has supplemented the usual dorm decorations with a succulent, a fern, and a bamboo plant.<\/p>\n

Like most, Atwater has been impressed with the efficiency of student Orientation leaders. The move-in is “not as hectic as I thought it would be,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

That leaves more time to focus on tennis and her first classes, which include a biology course on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Four years after her own Opening Day, Ross remembers the whirlwind of moving in and the dread of saying goodbye to her family at the end of it. The nervousness dissipated in time, and Ross became heavily involved in the Harward Center and the Lewiston-Auburn community, earning an induction into the College Key upon graduation.<\/p>\n

With Ross at the Harward Center table is Muskan Verma \u201921 of Shimla, India, who as a Bonner leader<\/a> volunteers frequently through the Harward Center.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Verma\u2019s move-in experience was quite different \u2014 she was so jet-lagged that she didn\u2019t feel as deeply the mix of nervousness and excitement that churns through many first-years\u2019 heads.<\/p>\n

This year, after being on campus all summer as an Admission intern, it’s like she’s seeing Opening Day for the first time. There’s no jet lag, and all the feels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got tears in my eyes,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m feeling all the things I should have felt in my first year, now.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his welcome, Reese explains that the definition of \u201cinternational student\u201d is broader than statistics might suggest.<\/p>\n

Around 150 Bates students are considered international students, meaning they are in the U.S. on a student visa.<\/p>\n

But, he adds, more than twice that number are dual citizens or have some other fundamental connection with another country.<\/p>\n

And all, Reese says, can benefit from the college’s international student programs. \u201cIf you\u2019re wondering if you\u2019re in or out, nobody\u2019s out. Everyone\u2019s in.\u201d<\/p>\n

AESOP is a four-day, three-night overnight Orientation program offering everything from hiking and surfing to community service, farm visits, and arts exploration in Maine and New Hampshire. Warder is one three AESOP coordinators.<\/p>\n

This year’s AESOP program offers 57 outdoor trips, each led by two upperclass leaders.<\/p>\n

What advice might be relevant for that student?<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear this a lot from students \u2014 I’ll have students literally sitting in my office crying, saying, \u2018Well, I thought I wanted to be a psychologist, but look what I did in Psych 101,\u2019\u201d Rebecca Fraser-Thill, director of faculty outreach for Purposeful Work and a visiting instructor in psychology, told parents in the workshop \u201cYour Evolving Relationship: Parenting a College Student.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part one is for parents, in which Spencer acknowledge the high emotions of the day. “So, kids, be nice to your parents today. It\u2019s hard to let you go,” she says.<\/p>\n

Part two is for the students.

Why? “A residential liberal arts education, more than almost any kind of experience you will have, gives you the opportunity to explore, to try new things, to take risks. But it’s up to you to seize this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
