"Colleges have to do more to put questions on the table, to help students grapple with the coming decade of uncertainty: How big should I dream or how realistic should I be? What is the cure for sadness? What do I want and what is truly worth wanting?" nytimes.com/2017/06/23/opi…
“Taking a constructive year off can help augment what a student has done in the high school classroom. And students who take the time are much more prepared to succeed on campus — they typically come in ready to succeed.” college.usatoday.com/2017/03/23/vie…
We think our fellows could back this one up! Travel and volunteering are incredibly educational parts of the gap year experience. #gapyear #studyabroad #travel news.rice.edu/2018/03/20/stu…

One of our fellows, Allison Bouganim, shares her captivating experience while exploring Tanzania.
A great op-ed on the emotional aspects of the college transition and weight of the college decision, written by a parent. Gap years can ease the college transition AND connect you to the real world. nytimes.com/2018/03/24/opi…
Rhea Bennett, former #gapper & current Harvard undergrad, prompts meaningful insights into why you should or should not take a gap year. Check it out: college.harvard.edu/admissions/hea… via @Harvard
Last week our fellows worked together to break through negative mindsets holding them back. With a strong community–anything is possible.
“92% of employers say “soft skills” are as or more important than tech skills, and 89% say finding them in job applicants is hard.“ Want to stand out in that internship interview? The skills you need may be more subtle than you think: wsj.com/articles/emplo…
“You may be wondering, “How can employers expect me to have all these skills fresh out of college?” Enter the gap year. Life experiences add value and depth to your overall candidacy.” m.huffpost.com/us/entry/98113…
"I think deceleration really is about learning how to take a step back" Charlie Taibi (CEO at @UnCollege) gives you reasons to experience a #startup #decelerator ow.ly/B2J930iU6uD
College marks a pivotal turning point in the lives of young adults...sometimes one that feels like a lot of change, reinventing yourself, and starting over. A major gap year benefit? Discovering parts of yourself that define who you want to be. mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/opi…
"Initiatives like these build a “we have your back” community. They enable vulnerable undergraduates to realize that they’re not impostors, an all-too-common belief, and that they can handle the obstacles they’ll predictably encounter." nytimes.com/2018/03/02/opi…
@UnCollege aims to change the notion that going to college is the only path to success. UnCollege encourages #GenerationZ to get out the classroom & into the real world where they learn through experimentation, coaching, & mentors @EmpowerLtd #TrainingTheNation🇹🇿 x.com/inc/status/969…
“Meritocracy places a strong need for young people to strive, perform and achieve. They have “increasingly unrealistic educational and professional expectations for themselves.” nytimes.com/2018/01/18/wel…
Spotted: UnCollege on this list of "more innovative and agile education alternatives." Nothing cooler than shaping your own path! inc.com/ryan-jenkins/t…
The world of internships might seem daunting, but there is no need to be concerned. Read these six #InternshipInsights to learn more: wsj.com/articles/stude…
Nearly 25% of millennials expect to have eight or more jobs in their working life...which means all that learning in the real world that happens during a gap year pays off! A career doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. Check this out! buzzfeed.com/bankofamerica/…
We're holding an UnCollege Community Night on Tuesday February 13 @ 6-8pm where you can come meet Cohort 12 fellows and alumni, mentors, staff, etc. We’d love for you to stop by & say hi. Snacks and drinks will be provided :) RSVP here: eventbrite.com/e/uncollege-co…
We're #hiring a full-time Enrollment Director to join our team! If you're passionate about #education and empowering young adults, email us at [email protected]. Learn more about the role here: lnkd.in/gPEn8wj #JobSeekersWednesday #sf
"What kinds of jobs are campuses supposed to be preparing students for? College seniors these days no longer have as clear or straightforward a career path as previous generations did." washingtonpost.com/news/grade-poi…
