Bates Social program

Bates Social is a continuing initiative to help Bates people connect online. We started by registering the Bates College namespaces on social media services starting in 2007.

When the Views 1 prototype launched in 2008, we began populating our social media spaces with updates from across the College. We encouraged public participation in early 2009.

Gather with alumni, parents, and friends on LinkedIn and show you’re a Bates fan on Facebook. Watch videos by and about Bates on YouTube or contribute to our photo pool on Flickr. For current news and notes, visit Bates on Twitter and, if you know of other online gathering places for Bates groupspeople, let us know.

In November 2009, we launched a beta service pulling together social media created and curated by Bates staff, and added pointers to blogs edited by members of the Bates community.

In January 2010, we simplified the interface, added embedded videos, and moved the contribution form to a new page. It’s no longer a beta!
