Hello! My name is Kaelyn, and I’m in the Digital Media program. I love Digital Media, but I plan to attend a university to learn about different things, too. My goal is to move to a different country and experience new places and different kinds of people! I do ballet, and I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, listening to audiobooks, and drinking tea. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need support!

Hey! My name is Liz. I’m part of the Digital Media Program here at Bates. I like being outdoors, meeting new people, rollerblading, collecting plants, and I aspire to be a rock climber and potter. If you need help and would feel more comfortable talking to a fellow high school student, I’m here to support you. Welcome to Bates, and I wish you a successful journey here.

Hey, my name is Malaki. I’m part of the Fire Service Program. In my off time I’m usually reading, doing research, or volunteering. My major goal is to change the world even if it’s a small bit and to be a firefighter. I would love to help in any way I can just reach out!
