The roles played by RC's and JA's are many and varied. All conversations with your RC or JA are confidential. The RC in your building is in charge of signing blueslips for events. If you have particular concerns you would like addressed, this is one avenue you might want to try. Admissions can be friendly because the campus and community are what will convince students that Bates is for them.
Bates students are our key to unlocking the campus and community for prospective students.
There are lots of ways to get involved. Or call extension 6020. There are tours every hour from 9-4, so lots of tourguides are needed. You can sign up at the Activities Fair at the beginning of each year, or stop by the office during each semester. Every year students want to pretend to be Batesies for a night, so they are matched with a host, who takes them to Commons and points them towards classes of interest.
