Hello, Bates Families –

Greetings from a snowy Bates campus. We have some updates for you today:

• Students received an update today on how to secure a COVID-19 vaccine booster.

• As students approach the close of fall semester, you may wish to remind them of the breadth of student support and health resources available.

• Many students use Bates Engage to get involved with campus life and make ride-sharing arrangements over breaks. Please remind your students to check recent editions of BatesToday for information about a platform upgrade and how they can join a temporary ride-sharing group to help with winter travel plans.

• Has your student signed up yet for Bates Bridge? This networking tool connects current students and Bates alumni. There are also Bates Bridge Groups for those who identify as people of color, first-generation college students, international students, and LGBTQIA+ to build community and share personal and professional experiences.

With best regards,

The Bates Parent Team
