L.e.g.a.C., a new organization on campus, is working to build a community where people can have conversations that are authentic and impactful. The group’s name stands for Listening, Engaging, and Growing Authentically through Conversation. 

To kick off the semester L.e.g.a.C, hosted an  event on September 13 called “What about your friends?” which explored the dimensions of navigating friendships as a young adult.  

They facilitated large and small group activities for participants to evaluate where they’re at in their friendships and what qualities they look for in those relationships. 

Particpants shared advice about friendship like don’t pour your all into your friends because you need to give yourself your energy too and don’t let one failed friendship deter you from finding more friends.
