What is ProjectConnect?

ProjectConnect is an evidence-based facilitated program to help build social connection and community on campus. Students get to know a small group of 4-6 students outside of their social groups over the course of six 1-hour sessions to engage in a series of thought-provoking questions and fun activities. These sessions can be offered in-person or virtually.

Loneliness and isolation represent profound threats to our health and well-being. But we have the power to respond. By taking small steps every day to strengthen our relationships, and by supporting community efforts to rebuild social connection, we can rise to meet this moment together. We can build lives and communities that are healthier and happier. 
Vivek H. Murthy, M.D., M.B.A.
19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States

Excerpt from Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community
