  • Bates College

    Bates College is widely regarded as one of the finest U.S. liberal arts colleges.

    Alumni frequently cite the capacities they developed at Bates for critical assessment, analysis, expression, aesthetic sensibility and independent thought.

    Bates was founded in 1855 by Maine abolitionists, and Bates graduates have always included men and women from diverse racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

  • Bates Web Communications

    Bates' Web Communications staff, students, and colleagues are envisioning, architecting, and building next-generation Web experiences.

    Our vision: all online media (Web, email, text, mobile) should deepen connections between members of the College's many communities.

    We are grateful for our colleagues in Communications and Media Relations where we work and thrive.
