Grad Escapes

Take a break from the lab or library to plug into grad student community. Taking time to recharge is an important part of maintaining peak performance. GradLife hosts a variety of free events to help you meet new people, gain experience and get the most out of your graduate degree.

Examples of Grad Escapes include: board game nights, a local varsity game, a trip to the Toronto Islands, hot chocolate study snacks, mindful yoga and exploring the amazing museums in Toronto.
