This instructor-led course explores how shared activities create opportunities to connect and stay involved over time. Developing friendships as an adult can be harder than expected, especially when routines are more screen-based and independent, so this course focuses on how in-person connections begin and grow. Through structured discussion and guided planning activities, participants practice starting conversations, noticing everyday social cues, and taking part in group experiences. The course also looks at how people find group opportunities and what supports ongoing involvement. Offered in a group format and time-limited by semester.
