3PM - 5PM EST
Gappers can have a frosh AND a grad too!
Introducing CanGap's annual Gap Year Grad, all about celebrating YOU after your 2025/26 gap year.
Come connect with fellow soon-to-be alum across Canada as you all take the next big step into adulthood, whether that leads you to college, university, your career, or even travel!
Here's what we're planning:
3:00 PM EST - Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Dr. Seuss had you in mind when he wrote this one. We'll journey through some of the most iconic pages of this beloved book — and this time, the story is yours. Share your highs, your hard seasons, and your unexpected moments as we reflect on everything your gap year made you.
3:30 PM EST – Gap Year Grad Connections
You didn't do this year alone — and you don't have to step into what's next alone either. Jump into small group breakout rooms with fellow Gappers from across Canada, swap stories, and map out what's coming next together. Your people are in this room.
4:15 PM EST – Workshop: Translating Your Gap Year
You did something incredible this year — now let's make sure the world knows it. Learn how to name the skills you built, own the person you became, and craft a story that turns "so you took a year off?" into the best thing you ever said yes to.
