Every Bobcat is unique…

…and so is their connection to Bates. Worldwide, there are more than 24,000 Batesies pursuing their dreams, making a difference, and giving back to their communities. Our alumni are united across generations by the time they spent here in Lewiston, and by the education that prepared them for great things.
