“Endicott College was thrilled to bring ProjectConnect to our campus during the pandemic. Our students were extremely restricted in terms of being able to meet people. ProjectConnect allowed our student facilitators to actively make a difference by offering an opportunity for students to come together, develop friendships and collectively support one another during a very challenging time. In fact, ProjectConnect was awarded the Social Program of the Year—a distinction given to the program that contributed most to the sense of community on campus.”

It’s a great way to help students open up to one another in a circumstance that wouldn’t have been possible without this program. Being a facilitator offers experience and knowledge to students, creating great leadership and understanding skills.”

“Being vulnerable with people who you perceive a certain way from their status/roles/emails and seeing their vulnerable side also. Sharing and realizing we are in similar places and not alone in our feelings! The energy and sincerity, prompts and cards we used were terrific.”

“The questions were great! People opened up really quickly with each other. Even though I'm introverted, I felt like it was an easy going group that was easy to open up with. So I hope that I can take that same energy and apply it when I meet more people across campus.”

“I see the benefit of ProjectConnect as being part of the solution to address loneliness on campus and in our community. I believe it takes a village to bring connection and to help people thrive - this offers a pathway for us to come together to help address a known issue (loneliness) that has many devastating impacts on health. There are only positive gains to Project Connect!”
