At Bates, she is also involved in the JSU and the W-CAT program. She is very excited to co-lead Pause this year and create a peaceful and mindful space in the Chapel every Wednesday night! She also wants to pass down the kindness and community that Multifaith has shown her so far on her Bates journey. She can&#8217;t wait to see you all at Pause in the Fall! In the Winter, she&#8217;ll be off to study in Turks and Caicos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are wondering what a \u201cmultifaith\u201d community is, it is a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","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-31","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","with-sidebar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":159,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8766,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31\/revisions\/8766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/multifaith\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
