$XOXO, Let\u2019s Connect$

Platonic relationships are vitally important to happiness and wellbeing, but sometimes it feels harder to make authentic connections in the digital age than it “should” be. There’s tons of advice out there about romantic relationships, for better or worse, but what about making new friends or going from friendly acquaintances to BFFs? Join us and MSU psychology researchers for a conversation on friendship, combatting loneliness with social connection, and where AI chatbots fall short. Then put it into practice with IRL speed-friending!
