Anaïs González, Co-Chair

I joined the Senior Gift because I was once misinformed about what it meant to give to the Senior Gift, whereas now, I aim to provide accurate information to Batesies who have been hesitant about giving back to Bates! Knowing that I have the potential to financially support teams, clubs, and departments that have positively impacted my Bates career, makes me want to give back to Bates and future Batesies!

Lexie Jamieson, Co-Chair

I joined Senior Gift because I have loved my time at Bates and it has been so formative in the development of the person I am today. I feel as if it is only appropriate that we give back to the Institution that gave us so much, in order to help provide the same (and better) experiences for future generations of Batesies!

Cam Carlson, Vice Chair

I joined the Senior Gift because I have absolutely loved my time at Bates and wish to help share that experience with others. It’s important to me that people understand why they should give to Bates and how that will help improve the school moving forward.

Christie Fatica, Vice Chair

I joined Senior Gift because I love Bates and I wanted to repay Bates students for everything they have given me while I have been here.

Abby Ford, Vice Chair

I chose to be a part of Senior Gift because I wanted to give back to the college that gave me so much and I wanted to contribute to bettering the college so that more future Bates students can have great experiences as well.

Alexa Jurgeleit, Vice Chair

I joined the Senior Gift Committee because I wanted to be able to help give back to the school which has provided me with so much. I want to help leave a legacy for Bates that will ensure that future students have wonderful experiences like the ones that I have had here.

In addition to gaining fundraising experience, you will also to meet some of Bates’ most distinguished alumni and senior staff members during exclusive networking opportunities.

To join the committee, email Casey Andersen (randerse@bates.edu) or reach out to anyone on the Committee.

• Plus, did you know that when a lot of alumni give to Bates (regardless of the dollar amount), it helps Bates receive additional grant funding and influences Bates’ position in national rankings!
