While Elon has many resources for student outreach through our student professional development center, students often struggle to forge individual connections. While this app was recently started by an Alumni, we want to help students get involved with it. By making posters that promote easy access to the app, students can begin building sturdy relationships that can prove helpful for years to come. We also hoped that with this movement we could have student and alumni representatives who promote the app by meeting with classes and partnering with the student professional development center. </span><div><br/></div>
