Engage in Conversation. Join ProjectConnect.

Feeling shy, not knowing how or where to meet people, or lacking confidence can make it hard to have a meaningful connection when you get to college. And connections with others lead to positive impacts on academic & athletic performance as well as mental & physical health.
This is where ProjectConnect comes in. This new support group aims to help campus students connect with others on campus. The pilot project started last fall and many commented how the group made it easy to engage in conversation, get to know others, and feel that others cared to get to know them.
ProjectConnect is a 6-week series of weekly get-togethers with a small group of 4-8 students. Facilitated by trained peers (and sometimes staff also), interactions and conversations are guided slowly toward more meaningful conversations.
