At the heart of Bates’ mission is a belief in the transformative power of our differences. Tyra Crosbie, Associate Dean of Admission & Director of Access, will be joined by current Bates students to discuss how our commitment to equity and inclusion informs our approach to educating the whole person through creative and rigorous scholarship in a collaborative residential community. Students who enroll at Bates will find support in accessing the resources they need to succeed. Learn how Bates helps students feel welcome and find an enduring community, facilitated by programs such as QuestBridge and Prologue to Bates, and by staff at the Student Center for Belonging and Community and the Center for Purposeful Work.
