New Leadership at Bates: President-elect Clayton Spencer
December 5th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
By looking at the website, you will see a new face at Bates.
This has only happened 7 times previously in Bates History (more than 150 years). Her name is Clayton Spencer, and she defines the 8th time this has happened. Clayton Spencer is the Bates President. She will start her new role at Bates in July 2012.
Please read the remarks, descriptions, and watch the videos relating to our newest addition to the Bates Community. We are all excited for this new era of leadership.
“The Bates Board of Trustees has unanimously and enthusiastically agreed that Clayton Spencer is the best possible choice to lead Bates at this key time in the college’s history. She is a true national leader in higher education, and she understands Bates in a very personal way, endorsing its innovative approach to the academic curriculum and its unpretentious ambition for excellence in all aspects of the liberal arts experience in the 21st century.” — Michael W. Bonney ’80, chair of the Bates College Board of Trustees
