Bates Reunion 2026 - 50th Reunion!

Return to Bates for your 50th Reunion—a truly special milestone.

It’s your chance to reconnect with old friends, share cherished memories, and strengthen the Bates legacy for generations to come. This is more than just a reunion; it’s a celebration of your enduring connection to Bates.

Get ready to reminisce! The 50th Reunion Yearbook is your exclusive guide to reconnecting with classmates before the big weekend. Share your memories and life updates, and discover what your peers have been up to since Bates.

Mark Your Calendar! Reunion Weekend will be the largest gathering of your class since Commencement. Prepare for a joyous return to campus (the 50th arrives a day earlier than all other classes!), filled with special events, shared laughter, and new memories. 

Leave a lasting legacy. Your 50th Reunion Class Gift celebrates your class’s generosity, making a profound investment in Bates’ future. Many alumni choose this milestone to make their most significant gift to the college.

You are as important to Bates’ future as you are to its past.

Have questions about your 50th Reunion or interested in volunteering? Don’t hesitate to reach out to the Bates staff dedicated to making this a memorable occasion.
