Dear Class of 2021 Families,

We have several updates for you today:

• Seniors have just been informed that guest ticketing for Commencement will open on Monday, May 3 and close on May 14. A reminder that your senior must initiate the guest ticketing process; families cannot sign up for their own guest tickets. 
• Anyone coming to campus as a ticketed Commencement guest or to help a student move out must observe campus health guidelines as well as the college’s guest testing and vaccination policy. 
• The Commencement site continues to be updated, so we encourage you to check it often. You’ll find information on the livestream, on celebrating your senior with lawn signs or on social media, and more.

We will host a Class of 2021 Family Briefing via Zoom webinar on Tuesday, May 11 at 8pm Eastern. Registration information has been emailed to you directly.

Best regards,
The Bates Parent Team
