Making new friends and building lasting connections has been hard for Carolina sophomore Lindsay Greene because so much of her college experience has been online due to the pandemic.
But thanks to the new Art Pen Pals program established by Arts Everywhere, Carolina Housing and the College of Arts & Science’s Department of Art and Art History, Greene has been able to do just that by creating art and sending it to her pen pal through the mail.
“My experience has been missing the part of college I had always looked forward to, which is meeting a ton of people and making more friends,” said Greene, who is majoring in computer science and linguistics. “I love my current friend group, but I definitely feel like there’s more people out there who I’m supposed to meet, and this was one way of doing that.”
