Video: Looking back, Ben McCall '11 reflects on the Maine connection
Each Commencement season, we offer brief videos of Bates seniors reflecting on their Bates experience.
Here, Ben McCall ’11 of South Portland, Maine, reflects on Bates’ connection to Maine students.
The seniors’ comments come from a recent Trustee luncheon, where each year the Bates seniors in attendance respond to President Elaine Tuttle Hansen’s invitation to offer impromptu comments.
