Drawing on research, her experience as a college professor, and her New York Times bestselling book Platonic, Marisa Franco unpacks beliefs that get in the way of friendship and shares practical strategies to build relationships that transform your college experience. Discover how to move past social anxiety, rethink social media’s role in connection, and create a greater sense of belonging on campus. You’ll leave with Franco’s four-step IDEA model—Initiate, Disclose, Expose, and Affirm—and actionable tools to build meaningful friendships, feel more connected, and make the most of your time in college. 7-8:30 p.m. Tues., Nov. 10 • Bicentennial Village • MORE
