An estimated 2.4 million Americans have hepatitis C, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This viral infection attacks the liver and, if left untreated, can lead to serious health consequences, including cirrhosis (permanent damage to the liver) and liver cancer.

The email went out at 10:07 a.m. on Friday, March 13, 2020, from President Clayton Spencer.

“My heart goes out to all of our students,” Spencer said. But, “we are at a pivotal moment with respect to both the spread of the COVID-19 virus and our ability as a college to take proactive, rather than reactive, steps.”
Thus began a year filled to the brim with reactions, proactions, and a lot of Bates teamwork, culminating in a return to campus in August and a successful so far in-person academic year.
