8A Solving The Problem
My solution is a service provided to people connecting each person to someone with similar interests. You can request a guide, someone who is there to aid you with what ever you want them to; whether it's getting you involved with things you are interested in, showing you around, or introducing you to new things. You can also request to be paired up with someone else who is new. Rather than a mentor, you will have 'buddy' who is in the same position as you are. Each person will sign up for interest groups. These interest groups will include as much as possible like: music, fashion, art, education, gym, religion, etc. The goal is for inclusivity. No one should have to go through things alone. They will describe themselves and what they are looking to get out of this service. With that information every one will get a 'buddy' that they can explore new opportunities with.

Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your hypothesis post I was curious to see what your solution would be. I had previously thought the solution would just be randomly pairing people to be friends, but your solution exceeded what I thought. I think it is a great idea to have options whether someone would want a mentor/guide or just someone who is going through the same experience, as well as grouping based off of interests. Overall I could see your solution becoming a huge success!
Hey Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great idea with your buddy service. Being a new student at UF this year, it was difficult to find people to just hang out with. If your service was available, I probably would’ve had an easier time getting out of the house and getting involved. I imagine this would also help students find groups to study with outside of, or even in, their class.
