After a one-year absence due to the pandemic, the college’s annual celebration of student academic achievement, the Mount David Summit, zooms back to life this year on Saturday, May 15.
Held virtually via Zoom this year, the 19th Summit offers guests a convenient way to hear directly from Bates students about their academic work, some of it cutting edge research.
More than 160 students will participate in this year’s event in four sessions, the first kicking off at 11 a.m. and the final at 4 p.m.
With a simple Zoom registration, you can attend this year’s virtual Mount David Summit on May 15 and meet Bates students.
