Fall 2026- Winter 2027
Various dates and times
A program aimed at increasing social connection and reduce feelings of loneliness across campus.
Making connections can feel daunting, especially when you’re new, commuting, older, introverted, or navigating social anxiety.
This program pairs you with another student who’s looking to build friendships, and we host low-pressure events to facilitate social connections.
Fill out the form to get paired with someone who shares similar interests and preferences!
Get to know your match through your preferred method of communication. Enjoy monthly conversation and activity prompts send by the SWC!
*The program runs in the fall/winter terms; However, we will run some events in the spring/summer (dates TBD). Keep updated with our programs page and social media, where we post about events.*
