While waiting for their entrees, senior Nate Stambaugh (front left) and sophomore Cassandra Kirkland (front right) enjoy a little chat about women in math and science.


On the other end of the table, science students take the advantage of the opportunity to get to know each other.

Josie Cutts, a first-year student perspectively majoring in mathematics, is happy to hear about the experiences of older students majoring in biology or chemistry.


First-year students and friends Mai Tuyet Hoang Ha and Razin Mustafiz (both in the background) share their feelings about Math Camp, a Short Term class taken by every Bates math major. Despite the intensity of Math Camp (it meets for 5 hours 4 days a week), they both like the challenge it brings.

Seniors Chrissy Anderson (left) from Boulder, CO and Stoyan Stoyanov (right) from Plovdiv, Bulgaria connect despite being from the opposite ends of the world. Only few weeks before graduation, they look back with nostalgia on the four years they have spent together at Bates.

Thanks to Bonnie for putting this event together!
