Explore, connect, transform, repeat
Students leave Bates with a body of knowledge and a set of skills — precise communication, sensitivity to the needs of others, and the ability to make complex decisions — that serve them throughout their lives.
Bates alumni are able to explore perspectives not yet imagined. They revisit unchanging questions, such as "Who am I? Who might I become?"
Voices of experience
"In every small way that you act, you act as productive economic beings, as moral beings, as social beings. And in all those actions, when collected together, you change history. When you look at all these forces [of change], remember you can adapt to them and make the world a better place." — Journalist and author Fareed Zakaria, L.H.D. '09
