Where was your head during the ‘60s and ‘70s? Did you decide to take time off? If so, did you sign up for Yale’s “Experimental Five-Year BA” program? Or did you take a “gap year” of your own making? Or, did you think about doing so?
We are reaching out to anyone from the “Boom years” who is interested in meeting with kindred souls to discuss our experiences and their impact on the directions of our careers and personal lives.
We are scheduling a Zoominar for an hour on Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 4 PM Eastern Time.

Tim Weiskel (’68 and ’69) and Mark McCormick (’68 and ’73 M.D.) are convening a discussion group for people who participated in the Yale 5-Year BA Program or created their own “gap year” experience as undergraduates. They would like to propose a Zoom meeting of people interested in discussing their experiences during their “year away from Yale,” and the impact of this year upon their lives.
Both Tim and Mark were part of the Yale 5-Year BA Program, which Kingman Brewster initiated in 1965. That program selected a small group of Yale sophomores who would use a “gap year” after their sophomore year as part of a Yale undergraduate degree program.
