We invite incoming Bates families and their students from the Boston 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 a Class of 1992 and 2028 family.

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.
  • While college staff will be present to help greet incoming families, this casual networking gathering will not include a formal presentation or information session.
  • Please register by August 7.
