50th Reunion

Save the dates for Reunion 2019: June 6–9, 2019! Make Your 50th Your Best Bates Reunion

Your 50th Reunion is a time to reflect on your personal Bates experience, reconnect with classmates, and celebrate together back where it all began.

Make A Special Gift in Honor of Your 50th Reunion

Members of the 50th Reunion class are encouraged to make a gift to celebrate this milestone reunion. Class goals for 1969 are $200,000 for the Bates Fund with 80% overall participation.


+Why is 50th Reunion giving important?

Your gift to Bates this milestone year is a gift to your former Bates mentors and professors, a nod to the experiences and relationships you enjoyed on campus 50 years ago, and a gift to students on their own Bates journey at this very moment. It is a vote of confidence in Bates and an investment in its future. By making a 50th Reunion contribution, you’re paying it forward by ensuring that the fundamental aspects of a Bates education remain accessible to the most deserving students, regardless of their financial resources.

+When should I make my 50th Reunion gift?

In order to count toward your Reunion class goals, gifts and multi-year pledges must be received by June 30, 2019. However, we encourage you to consider contributing by May 1, 2019, to ensure your gift is celebrated during Reunion Weekend.
