Will Morris (he/him) Class of 2027

Hi Everyone, I’m Will Morris. I am a senior from Wayland, Massachusetts. My goal for this school year is to spend more time in the mountains than in class. I am a physics major and I spent last school year studying engineering in Franconia Notch I mean at Dartmouth College. Typically I put my right foot in front of my left foot and then my left foot in front of my right foot when I am in the woods, but I have been known to mix it up and put my left foot forward first sometimes. I love to trail run, hike, nordic ski, and downhill ski. Mostly I just love to spend time outside so I’m a big fan of anything that will get me outside. I’m so excited to dive back into BOC this year and get as many people having fun outside as possible.

Paige Durant (she/her) Class of 2028

Hey there BOC! I’m Paige and I’m a junior from Dartmouth, MA (wayOB). I love nerding out about all things nature (let’s talk trees), existing sans shoes, tending to my garden (“the jungle”), frolicking with my pup Rhea, and jumping into any body of water I encounter. I am happy any time I’m outside, but I especially love snowboarding, hiking, boating, and sleeping under the stars. My biggest challenge at Bates has been growing comfortable swimming in freshwater (scary) to expand my swimming repertoire beyond salt (<3). I’m super stoked to build community within the BOC this year and can’t wait to get to know you all!
