Implementing The Connection Project in the Fall semester of 2023, TCP at VT reached 45 students from ages 18 to 47 across many areas of study, backgrounds, and identities. To better adapt the curriculum to their course structure and student body, TCP at VT has a section of the course in their Human Development department, open to all students, and a section in their Engineering department which is specifically for studying engineering. After a successful pilot semester, TCP at VT is looking forward to continuing to grow and help more students.
Georgetown University
Georgetown's iteration of The Connection Project, titled Hoyas Connected, also began in the Fall semester of 2023. After spending the Fall semester training 10 student facilitators, the course launched in the Spring and served 70 students. Members of the groups and facilitators alike enjoyed being able to connect with new people and gain communication skills as the program continues to grow.
Penn State University
After undergoing training in June 2025, PSU took The Connection Project to their campus as We Are Connected. Now, a cohort of undergraduate students are enrolled in the training course for Fall 2025, with plans to begin enrolling group members to begin leading groups, and training a second cohort of facilitators in Spring 2026.
Arizona State University
ASU attended their implementation training in June 2025, bringing with them two student facilitators to be trained, as well.
