‘Presidential Campaign Rhetoric’ Puts Bates at Center of Polls

To Professor Stephanie Kelley-Romano, her class Presidential Campaign Rhetoric provides a unique experience for Bates students. “I want people to see the interdisciplinary nature of a Bates education and the practical real world application. It’s really easy to sit in classes and critique theories and experiences and social movements and politics but when you have to think about how you’re going to do it…it gets a lot harder,” she said.

Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture mark 75 and 80 years of artist residencies in Maine

November, 2026 | By: Lucky Platt | Photography: courtesy of Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Three-quarters of a century ago, artists pioneered summer art school residency programs in Maine, places born not out of significant financial resources but out of necessity. These are places that began as, and continue to be, incubators for a creative life; they are essential, ideally experienced when the artist would benefit most from immersive work and community. “Haystack and Skowhegan were established at a unique moment in time. It would be impossible to bring institutions like these into being in the same way today, and for this we honor, steward, and protect them,” observes Perry Price, the fifth executive director of the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.

College students need to talk about politics

EDITORIAL: Tuesday, Nov. 3 is the big day. We are going to find out who will represent us in Washington and Augusta as Mainers.

College students need to be aware of the world around them and the impact their decisions have — and they need to spread that awareness to others.
