All to build community between students across new student communities, including international students.
"Finding belonging can be such a challenging thing for international students — especially for first-generation international students — so we have to meet them where they are.
If they can't find a way to campus, we have to bring campus to them. Since we’ve moved to working with Nearpeer, I’ve seen a lot more students message me, and it has made my job so much easier."
Neira Kadic, International Admissions Counselor, University of Oklahoma

Orientation leader Betty shares how Nearpeer helps improve student transitions
Colleges and universities are improving students' sense of belonging, inclusion, and equity with higher ed's most inclusive space for peer engagement and connection.
Our peer-to-peer engagement platform ensures students "find their people," and feel like they belong, improving equity, inclusion, enrollment, and the student experience – while reducing student loneliness.
“So many students have shared just how impactful Nearpeer has been to make connecting with people a little easier.
I really appreciate the service so much.”
