University Pen Pals: Are you an international student or a student learning remotely looking for campus connections with peers? The University Pen Pals program creates community while socially distanced. The program pairs international and remote students with on-campus pen pals. Sign up here.
Bear Down Scavenger Hunt: We’re passionate about the safety of our community, so we have created a socially distant activity that promotes mask-wearing on campus and allows students to explore the main University of Arizona campus. Every week on Instagram, Bear Down Scavenger Hunt posts a photo of a secret location on campus. Students post a masked selfie at the location for a chance at prizes! Follow beardown_scavengerhunt on Instagram for the rules and this week’s hunt!
Wildcats Indoors but Not Bored: Wildcats Indoors but Not Bored wants to help you and your friends beat boredom. We understand that life is different, and you may not see your friends as frequently as you'd like. So, why just text when you can connect? Wildcats Indoors but Not Bored will provide you and your friends with unique and low-cost activities that will preserve your mental and social health. To get in on the challenge email us at indoorsnotbored@gmail.com with the names of your group members and your group lead’s contact info.
