In this highlight clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.027, president of the Gap Year Association and gap year expert Julia Rogers talks with host Ryan Tibbens about what kinds of college experiences students want, what they need, how COVID-19 might affect that experience, and why a gap year might be just what the doctor (and student advisor) ordered. Students in the Class of 2020 and 2021 face tough decisions about when and how to matriculate, and if their schools are closed, online only, or even open but with limited social and athletic activities, then contingency plans are necessary.\xa0 While a purposeful gap year should usually be treated as a primary option, in the current circumstance, gap year advisors are seeing huge increases in inquiries as students seek a post-high school experience that satisfies their goals and enriches their lives. This clip might help you to weigh the pros and cons. Remember to like, follow, share, and comment!
