Planning for College? College Planning Series is Back!

Let WVPL help you plan for college with our College Planning Series.

Planning for college can be so stressful, but it doesn't have to be. With some tips and time, you can pick the best college for you.

This October, we're bringing back our popular College Planning Series. Here we offer a variety of workshops that can take some of the mystery out of college planning.

  • On October 15, at 7 PM, Chyten Educational Services will present on writing a college essay. Students will learn how to write a great college application essay and what pitfalls to avoid.
  • On October 22, at 7 PM, the library will host an “Introduction to the College Process” workshop where participants will learn how to prepare for the college process and what to expect. This is presented by Eric Karlan from The Ivy Experience. Parents and high school students are welcome to attend.
  • On October 29, at 7 PM, the library will host a workshop on “Choosing a College.” This popular session will teach participants what to ask during a college visit and what to look for in a school. This is presented by Tanjanesia "Tanjy" Willoughby of Willoughby Educational Consulting. Parents and high school students are welcome to attend.
All of these sessions are free to the public and there's no registration. For more information about these sessions, visit http://wvpl.org/regular-programs/college-planning-series.
