gap year Seminar
At the Gap Year Seminar on March 5, 2025, we discussed gap year, semester, and summer opportunities with students who took gap years, college admissions representatives, gap year program providers, and other experts. Together, we explored how these experiences can foster personal growth, cultural and language immersion, outdoor exploration, and purpose-driven learning, helping students decide if a gap year is the right choice for them.
