SOUTH BEND — Indiana University South Bend has introduced a new program, Map the Gap, geared toward helping high school students who are interested in exploring a “gap year.” The program will help students stay on track with goal setting, campus visits, skill training and more.

The program will allow students to sit in on college classes and will perform career aptitude assessments to accurately pair the students with mentorship.
