BATH — Registration opens Aug. 1 for Patten Free Library’s Thursday, Aug. 13, workshop on the Common Application for college admission. The event is for rising high school seniors and will be held at Patten Free Library from 6-8 p.m. in the Library’s Community Room. Several local college counselors will be on hand to help students learn the basics about the Common Application web site and to get a jump-start in developing a strong personal profile. The event is free and open to any high school senior; pre-registration is required.
“This is our third annual ‘Pizza Pity Party,’’” said Roberta Jordan, Outreach and Instruction Librarian at Patten. “We’ve had a great response to this workshop over the last few years. I think everyone who came felt like they got a great jump start on the Common Application, thanks to Leslie Trundy of Morse High School, who leads the workshop. Wendy Thompson of Westport Educational Consulting will also be presenting again this year. Of course, the free pizza also makes the reality of the college application process a little less painful.”
Interested students must pre-register for the event (to get an accurate head count for pizza) and should bring their own laptop or tablet (a limited number of library laptops are available). Parents are welcome to attend, too. Register via rjordan@patten.lib.me.us, (207) 443-5141, ext. 25 or http://goo.gl/forms/lNfV4N0 TlY. When registering, please provide the registrant’s full name, contact information (email or phone), and whether a parent plans to attend, too.
