2024 Recording: Gap Opportunities
Hosted by CC's director of admission, Matt Bonser. Matt discussed why so many CC students choose to take a gap year or gap semester, what makes for a great gap experience, why we encourage students to consider a deferred start, and how to request a deferred start at CC.
