I disagree with the administration’s moves to shutter the only agency focused solely on America's libraries and museums.
Mainers understand the value these institutions have in connecting, educating, and even attracting folks from away. I believe in that mission, and am pushing back on those cuts.

Judging by what current and former students have to say, Associate Professor of Education Mara Tieken is exceptional at what she does.
That's why it's no surprise that she's the recipient of the 2024 Kroepsch Award, the college's highest teaching honor.

We pay tribute to the late, remarkable Jimmy Carter, who died today at age 100, by recalling the generosity and determination of his historic 1985 visit to Bates to honor his friend Ed Muskie '36, and praise the greatness of Benjamin Mays, Class of 1920.

The sweetest lost item we found? A greeting card with a handwritten note from a grandfather to his grandson in his first week at Bates.
"If you call or text me asking for a favor, I will say YES before I even know what it is."
