Hello, Class of 2027 families –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re so glad to have all your Bobcats on campus! Whether your student arrived last week with a fall team or landed at Bates yesterday, here are some next steps for building your own connections with Bates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Pre-register for our family orientation webinar<\/a>s<\/a>. This series takes place Sept. 12-21 and is designed to help you support your students as they begin life at Bates. Topics include academic supports, life outside the classroom, and supporting student well-being. Learn more and register.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Remind your students to check out the Clubs, Orgs & Jobs Fair on Wednesday, Sept. 6 from 8-10 p.m<\/strong>. This is a great chance for first-years to try new activities (or continue with old favorites), meet fellow students, and explore all that Bates has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.\u00a0For\u00a0family members of first-generation college students<\/strong>, please consider joining a\u00a0virtual Family Forum, hosted by the Office of Intercultural Education on Sept. 27 from 5-6pm EST. Contact\u00a0Tonya Bailey-Curry<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about this effort to increase the connections first-generation families have to one another, to the OIE, and to the wider Bates community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Register for Back to Bates: Families & Alumni Weekend<\/a> (Oct. 6-7). This is a wonderful opportunity to experience life on campus and visit with your student. This year’s schedule<\/a> has something for everyone while ensuring flexibility to enjoy autumn in Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best from campus, Hello, Class of 2027 families – We’re so glad to have all…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1133,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[32,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-of-2027-families","category-email-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4662"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4663,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4662\/revisions\/4663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
