What to expect:

- 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.
