Class Agents

Class agents play an important role in keeping alumni connected and involved with Bates — creating a sense of community among classmates and strengthening their relationship with the college. Class agent responsibilities include:

  • Leading by example: Make your gift to Bates by December 31.
  • Contacting 10–20 classmates about making their Bates Fund gift.
  • Sharing news from campus and speaking with classmates about the importance of giving to Bates.
  • Encouraging classmates to participate in virtual or in-person alumni programming.
  • Thanking those who made a gift with a personal thank-you.

Class agents contact classmates about supporting Bates and share news from campus. There are more than 400 dedicated class agents who are integral to the success of our fundraising efforts. With the support and drive of our current agents, the class agent program is poised to create a strong foundation for Bates’ continued success and growth for years to come.

We hope the fundraising resources provided here are helpful. Please contact your staff liaison – listed below – with any questions.
