The Project | For the first time in its history, the Faculty L.E.A.D. and Staff L.E.A.D. classes of 2021-2022 joined forces to participate in a collaborative team project: a Community Chalkboard & the ArgoWell Connection Deck. Their primary goal is to address student loneliness by creating a safe, welcoming space where students can develop a sense of community by accessing resources for meaningful connection.
