Abstract

With big career and life decisions seeming daunting throughout college, it is hard to find answers to any questions revolving around these ideas. Ursinus Men’s Lacrosse players Jack Shimer and Jake Connelly aim to tackle this problem with their app Spark. Spark is a one stop shop for college students to ask questions to alumni mentors about life after school. With a more personal relationship built on this app than on others like it, Spark allows students to connect with real life mentors in a manner that has yet to be seen in the digital world.
