Learn 'Gap Year' Benefits At A Lower Merion Township Library

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA – Many young people head off to college right out of high school. While that works for some, others seeking higher education may benefit from taking a year off between high school and college.

And a talk at a Lower Merion Library System library will go over how that year off, commonly known as a "gap year," can benefit students.

The Ludington Library is hosting the event from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Katherine Stievater, founder of "Gap Year Solutions," will present the talk.

Stievater argues students who take a gap year before college are more mature when they begin college, more motivated, become leaders on campus, and graduate in less time with higher GPAs.

Ludington Library is located at 5 S. Bryn Mawr Ave. in Bryn Mawr.
