The Howland Public Library is offering a free workshop for students starting the college application process. The workshop, Applying to College: From Getting Started to Finding Your Fit, will be led by Adam Kendis and will be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 8th, at 6pm.

The college application process can seem overwhelming to students and families. But deciding on your next steps in life doesn’t need to produce anxiety. Instead, it can be a fun and powerful journey. This workshop will offer tips and practical resources that will help students and families learn:

• How to start the college search process;

• How to find colleges that are a great fit - academic, social and financial- for you;

• What resources can help you confidently navigate this journey;

• How to make yourself and your applications stand out in the process;

• How to approach this journey in a way that emphasizes self-discovery and fun over anxiety and pressure.

This workshop is designed for students in 11th grade and the adults who support them but is open to all students and parents. To register, email Michelle Rivas at community@beaconlibrary.org .
