Returning to campus, traveling and volunteering together

College Key award Batesies can meet in real life with their classmates at the annual Reunion, which is organized by 5-year classes.

From Reunion and Homecoming to the National Day of Service, Bates events bring together thousands of alums and their families each year.

Homecoming provides an opportunity for alumni to visit with current students, faculty, and alumni leaders in a beautiful fall setting.

Bates Career Services counselors provide support for young alumni. The Travel Program and Barlow Alumni Travel Grant bring alumni to new places around the world.

"I felt proud to be a part of a school that cares to reunite not only for parties and catching up — which, of course, is always great! — but also to do something wonderful for the world."

Aliza Luft '06, a Ph.D. student in human development and education at Berkeley, at the San Francisco National Day of Service
