This passion led me to pursue a degree in Business Economics at the University of Maine at Farmington, followed by a Master\u2019s of Science in Adult\/Higher Education at the University of Southern Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past five years, I\u2019ve dedicated myself to public higher education, working in admissions and volunteering with the New England Association for College Admission Counseling (NEACAC). Through these experiences, I\u2019ve developed a deep commitment to guiding students from all backgrounds as they navigate the college admissions process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, you can often find me outdoors, whether it\u2019s playing disc golf, hiking, or coaching and playing soccer. I also cherish the time I spend with my wife, family, and friends. My ultimate goal is to continue making a difference in students\u2019 lives, with the aspiration of one day becoming a Director of Admissions or Enrollment Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Abbatello dabbatello@bates.edu | he\/himAssistant Dean of Admission Growing up in Hamden,&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-16726","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16726","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=16726"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16777,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/admission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16726\/revisions\/16777"}],"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=16726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
