A College Store coordinator helps students safely purchase what they require to succeed on campus.
Specialists in the Registrar’s Office manage a torrent of academic records that help track a student’s career through Bates.
And a member of the Campus Safety staff ferries students to places in Lewiston-Auburn in his role as a shuttle driver.

Each week for the next three weeks, we’ll continue to share portraits of Bates staff members as well as stories in their own words about how they have 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.

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

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.
