A lot changes when you transition from high school to college, including navigating a new social landscape and making new friends. It isn’t uncommon to feel as though you haven’t quite clicked with a friend group, even after a few semesters. This IAP activity is designed for those who want to understand more about friendship, including how to develop and deepen new relationships. We will gather to discuss what you are looking for in a friendship and where to find friends on campus. Additionally, we will explore unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of making new friends and we will practice engaging in conversations. Given the many demands on your time, there will also be an opportunity to reflect on how time for friendship fits into your busy schedule. We hope to see you there!
