Eventful: Make Your Life More Eventful
Many international students struggle with mental health issues like social isolation, depression, and anxiety. A Penn State study revealed that from 2018 to 2021, these students experienced social isolation 2.5% more frequently than their peers, mainly due to the challenges of adapting to a new country and culture. To tackle this issue, our team developed "Eventful," an app to help international students at the University of Washington integrate into their new community. This innovative, map-based platform enables users to discover nearby events tailored to their interests, fostering connections and creating a supportive environment that brings together the international university community.
