I have officially graduated from college! *Cue victory lap and loan repayment plan!* There’s no doubt that the past four years have given way to a winding and retrospectively enriching journey. In that time, I have gained a wealth of knowledge—from the nuances of international conflict to the philosophical commentaries of Kant and Nietzsche, to visionary frameworks of tomorrow’s metropolises. Yet, after all this time, the one thing I cannot...

Read MoreHi Paula, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating in 2018? Right after graduation, I took a short backpacking trip around Europe. I knew I would start university in September and wanted to squeeze in one last travel adventure. It was interesting to experience the transition from "school travelling," where things were usually planned for us and safety was a priority, to "solo travelling," where nobody...
Read MoreHi Elliot, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduation? Our academic years start in February, so after graduating, I lived with my family for eight months, working fast food full-time and organizing a final iteration of the Traveling Shorts Film Festival (a yearly film festival held at TGS), as I wasn't quite ready to let that go as a TGS institution. Then in 2019, I started...

Read More1. Hi Maxim. It's been two years now since you graduated from THINK Global School. What have you been up to in that time? Since graduating from TGS, I have been attending the University of Toronto studying mineral (mining) engineering. I know you might be asking why, out of all engineering, I chose mineral engineering? It's because I want to throw myself into the space mining industry. I figured it...
Read More1) Hi Liam, can you tell us what you’ve been up to since graduating THINK Global School? I decided while in my senior year at TGS that I was not going to pursue a university education right out of the gate. I couldn’t remember a time not being at school, and I wanted to experience a side of life where the schedule was completely determined by me. I went back...
