Our overarching goal in Student Affairs is to support every student for a successful Bates experience, and to help prepare students for rewarding and engaged lives after Bates. Through well-designed and cohesive programming, Student Affairs staff members work closely with students in a variety of dimensions to help them realize an enriching educational experience, inside the classroom and out.
