How a college student is using social media to build connection and belonging on his campus
Brett Schultz, a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), is one student harnessing social media’s power to change his community. After recognizing that many UNH students felt lonely, homesick, or like it was difficult to make friendships — existing issues made worse by the pandemic — Schultz has designed a new social media and e-commerce platform called Connector. Connector’s vision is in the name: Schultz hopes the app will help students build relationships and communities at UNH.
