Monarch is a text-message-based service that introduces you to other students on campus for coffee. It gets to know you through thoughtful questions, then sets up the introduction and arranges the details over text.

Monarch is for meeting people and making connections. It's up to you what type of connections these are, and you can specify that during onboarding.

No. You can use Monarch over text or download the app — whatever's easiest for you.

Monarch suggests a coffee spot on or near campus that works for both of you. You can always suggest a different place.

No. Every introduction is optional, and declining one won't prevent you from receiving future ones.

Monarch is available to students at participating community colleges.

Just let Monarch know over text. We'll handle rescheduling so neither of you is left waiting.

Monarch learns about you through a few questions — your interests, your schedule, what you're looking for — and matches you with another student we think you'll click with.
