A college psychotherapist helps students understand that it’s OK
not to be OK. A Post & Print supervisor helps make sure each arriving package gets to the right students. A COVID-19 contact tracing director helps students feel comfortable in the face of quarantine.
Whether students are feeling down, or need help getting their feet back on the ground, they get the support they need among the Bates staff, whose work helps position students for success in their work with the equally talented and devoted Bates faculty.
Each week for the next six weeks, we’ll share three portraits of Bates staff members who’ve responded to the needs of our students during a time of crisis. Totaling 21 staffers, from 19 different college offices, these Bates people rise to the challenge when students need somebody not just anybody.
