| Persona1 | Name | O.M. |
| Activated Role | Co-Term Student | |
| Goal | Find new friends with common interests | |
| Motivation | Most of their undergraduate friends left school, so they need new people to accompany their interests like playing tennis or checking out new restaurants near campus | |
| Conflict | Their schedule is quite of full so they have not devoted much time in solving the issue. | |
| Attempts to Solve | They started taking tennis classes, which was helpful in finding after-class tennis partners. They have also tried attending dorm events, but it was difficult to develop the connection further after adding each other on Instagram. | |
| Setting/ Environment | Near their dorm because they do not want to bike too far | |
| Tools | Dorm chats, emailing list, department announcements, existing friends’ social cirlce | |
| Skills | Though they are introverted, they are good at active listening and continuing the conversation once it got started. They are also very responsive in texts. |
| Persona2 | Name | T.P. |
| Activated Role | Junior year of undergraduate career | |
| Goal | Know more people around campus | |
| Motivation | They want to step out of their comfort zone of current friend circles once in a while. | |
| Conflict | They already have existing friend groups so it is hard to balance befriending new people and sustaining old friendships given their limited time. | |
| Attempts to Solve | They tried to use meal times and homework sessions to spend time with new people. It was not very successful because people were flaky. | |
| Setting/ Environment | Campus in general is fine. They live on the east part of the campus (mixed 4-year dorm), but they spend much time in the engineering quad (west part), too. | |
| Tools | Slack, iMessage, dorm’s computer cluster, gym | |
| Skills | They are very outdoorsy and talkative, so it is easy for them to start up a conversation with a stranger. |
