He was born in Medell\u00edn, Colombia, and spent his early childhood in Barcelona, Spain. However, he spent most of his high school years in <em>la isla del encanto<\/em>, his mother\u2019s land, Puerto Rico. He then travelled north to not-always-sunny Philadelphia to attend Haverford College, where he studied Anthropology with minors in Spanish and Visual Studies and a concentration in Latin American Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His most formative collegiate experience was working in Admissions, where he was a tour guide, host, and senior interviewer and intern, which propelled him to enter the world of undergraduate admissions. Before starting at Bates, he spent a year experiencing international admissions at Temple University. He was thrilled to return to the hidden gem of the liberal arts education, which offers deep and engaged learning in a tight-knit community and a myriad of support networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Spir Rechani jspir@bates.edu | he\/\u00e9lAssociate Dean of Admission &amp; Director of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":971,"featured_media":0,"parent":2885,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-13573","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/971"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13573"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16860,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13573\/revisions\/16860"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
