Considering a Gap Year Before College?

Event Description Wheaton College hosts an interactive presentation titled "Considering a Gap Year Before College?" by Dr. Rob Ribbe. Dr. Ribbe is an assistant professor of Christian Formation and Ministry at Wheaton College and founder of Vanguard Gap Year, a gap year program for 18-20 year old high school graduates seeking a formative educational experience prior to enrolling in college. He also serves as Director of HoneyRock, Wheaton College's outdoor center for leadership development in Three Lakes, Wisconsin.
