 For our cohort we focused on developing a peer mentoring program for new entering students might help them adjust to a new university or environment. By implementing peer mentoring initiatives that match current students (including transfers and international students) with experienced peers. Mentors may provide direction, answer queries, and give students an atmosphere of togetherness. This helps them in many regards like specialized help and advice that is suited to their unique requirements and problems, developing self-assurance in their abilities to make it through the educational system, this can reduce the feeling of isolation and anxiety faced by many new incoming students.

		+	Analysis of the information collected from discussions with stakeholders on campus, including faculty, staff, administration made it clear that first year students, specially transfer students and international students feel disoriented on campus during the orientation and transition period. There is a barrier in terms of proper and complete communication, handholding and guidance support to students. Even though there are abundant resources on campus and ample opportunities to explore campus life, incoming students are overwhelmed with the climatic and cultural change, and the onset of semester work leaves them with little ability to get comfortable with college life. We recognized an opportunity to create an innovative solution that builds on existing resources, is attentive to student needs and at the same time, is based on the value space created by faculty and staff.

 For our cohort, we've chosen focus on areas specifically involving connections. In the wake of Covid, we faced numerous challenges in terms of  connecting with others and connecting with the resources and locations on campus. Our approach will focus on understanding what happened from a broad perspective; getting students to explore campus more; helping students learn about what resources exist on campus; and help give them an opportunity to show off their projects and creations. By reestablishing these connections, we hope to foster a more highly-functioning university, and get students to the place where they can be most innovative.
