We invite incoming and current Bates families and their students from the Seattle area to join us for a gathering to meet and make connections with each other. Get to know your fellow Bobcats, hear from current Bates families, and expand your Bates network.

This event is hosted by Class of 2007 and 2010 alumni.

Bates strives to host inclusive, accessible events. For inquiries about accessibility or other general questions, please contact parents@bates.edu or 207-786-6242.

Can’t make it? Looking for a different date or location? Be sure to check out our full lineup of events for incoming families.

What to expect:
  • This is an informal meet-and-greet for both family members and incoming Bates students. Light refreshments will be provided. Dress code is casual.
  • If family members cannot attend, students are still encouraged to register and attend so they can connect with their fellow Bobcats. If a student cannot attend, their parents and support networks are welcome to attend and meet other Bates families.
  • Please note that this casual networking gathering will not include a formal presentation or information session.
  • Please register by July 2.
