Inspiration
RIT can be a big scary campus. Although some students want to get more involved, it might be hard for them to set that up and feel comfortable trying something new. BuddyUp Helps to solve this issue! As someone who is very involved on campus, I only was able to make that shift by being okay being uncomfortable! This app will help encourage new students to check out new clubs on a more personal level.
What it does
This app allows for groups to post events, users to RSVP to events, users to request a buddy, users to approve a buddy, and users to find the best made match between users.
