What is a club?
A club is a group or organization open to any and all currently-enrolled Bates students who share similar interests or purposes. These interests may include culture, hobbies, sports, leisure activities or even activities related to current or future professional goals.
Purpose and benefits of student clubs
Clubs are coordinated through the Campus Life & Activity Center, and provide students with the opportunity to learn leadership skills, work in diverse groups, and form communities around similar interests or goals.
Clubs assist in enhancing social and professional skills by encouraging students to:
o Develop leadership qualities and skills
o Network at a college and community level
o Feel connected to the campus community
o Work in diverse groups
o Establish and refine teamwork related skills
o Form lasting relationships
