Orientation Webinars
Orientation webinars offer incoming Bates families an opportunity to get up to speed on their student’s transition to life on campus. Webinars are held after the academic year begins so that as students start classes and activities, families have timely information on supporting them and the many resources available to students during their time at Bates.
All webinars are recorded and posted 24-72 hours after the conclusion of the event; families receive a link/password to access each recording.
