We invite incoming and current Bates families and their students<\/strong> from the Los Angeles 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is hosted by a Class of 1992 and 2026 family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bates strives to host inclusive, accessible events. For inquiries about accessibility or other general questions, please contact parents@bates.edu<\/a> or 207-786-6242.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
