Tuka Al Hanai’s venture, CONNECT, forges meaningful connections between different cultural, professional, and academic communities. CONNECT, is an end-to-end automated platform that matches individuals based on an educated assessment of their schedules and interests and invites users to meet with a different person each week, one-on-one, for a free lunch. CONNECT has fostered cross-cultural communication and mentorship, as well as friendships and academic growth in the MIT community. Everyone needs to eat, so you might as well meet someone new, whom you normally would not have crossed paths with.
