UPDATE on Back to Bates: Family Day

We are delighted to share that we anticipate that Back to Bates: Family Day will proceed as planned on Saturday, October 2, 2021. 

Registration will open next week.

Please note:

  • Only fully vaccinated individuals may attend Back to Bates: Family Day this year.
  • All programs will be outside. Guests will not be permitted in college buildings, and outdoor dining on campus is limited.
  • Guests may be asked to mask outside under specific conditions.

Full details and guidelines are available in our updated FAQ.

While we look forward to a festive, outdoor Back to Bates, it is important to note that this event remains subject to change or cancellation should conditions on campus or around the nation change with respect to COVID-19. 

We certainly hope this is not the case and that we can welcome you back to a safe, healthy campus where your students continue to enjoy a robust in-person experience.

We’ll see you soon!
