Gaining Experience
Join the Conversations Partners Program

Coordinators take major of study, hobbies and interests, and other preferences into consideration when matching participants into small groups. The coordinators will send an email to initiate contact for each group of partners. Then, participants will be responsible for communicating about the details of their meetings for the rest of the semester.
