Taking a Gap Year

A gap year is a break after university when a recent graduate can engage in community service, participate in research, teach, or travel before enrolling in a graduate program or taking full-time employment. If you are thinking about taking a gap year after your senior year, speak to a career coach to discuss your options, andfind out how to make the most of this year.
