Talk about an experience at Bates that unexpectedly turned out to be valuable to your work now. Mike: “A class in international politics. My professor challenged us to examine Iranian–U.S. relations from an Iranian perspective. To look critically at both sides of a situation, to rethink your whole understanding of a subject—that’s been crucial at Ora.” Clark: “My first-year seminar in anthropology was like that. I’ve never felt more out of my element—and it was, hands down, the class that most changed the way I see the world. But I was also thinking about my experience with the Bates Fishing Club. That’s how I met an alumnus who became a friend and led me to Ora.”
