50th Reunion: Volunteer Opportunities

Make Your 50th Your Best Bates Reunion

The 50th Reunion would not be possible without volunteers. During this milestone year, alumni take the lead in building attendance, generating enthusiasm and connections, and fundraising. Past 50th Reunion volunteers always share how much they enjoy reconnecting with classmates through this important volunteer work.

Whether you’ve been to every Bates reunion or none of them, you are a part of making your 50th a special celebration.

There are multiple ways to volunteer:

Gift Committee: Help your class leave a memorable legacy for Bates in celebration of this Reunion milestone. Contact Casey Andersen ’12 at randerse@bates.edu with questions.
Social Committee: Plan 50th events, select a class parade memento, and encourage classmates to attend. Contact Carly Hopkins at chopkins@bates.edu with questions.
Yearbook Committee: Encourage classmates to submit bios and memories for the 50th Reunion Yearbook, and curate photos and memories to include in special sections. Contact Carly Hopkins at chopkins@bates.edu with questions.

You’re also welcome to express your interest in volunteering by completing this form.

Picture Story: The Bates Class of 2029 Begins Its Journey

On Aug. 28, the 497 members of the Bates Class of 2029 finally arrived on campus. Current students, faculty, and staff welcomed them with open arms; it was hard to turn a corner without finding a Bates community member offering directions or helping a new student unload their luggage. Bates athletes, pictured below in front of Page Hall, carted the heavy items from cars to dorms.
