This issue of Convergence is about forming and maintaining social connections. It starts with an opinion piece regarding the advantages of Discord and its current status on campus, followed by an introduction to Mattermost as a social platform and two students’ unique experiences keeping in touch with friends outside of school during the pandemic. The issue also includes a season recap for the Varsity Soccer Team, a showcase of some interesting new clubs at UCC, and a featured interview with our new Pluralism Coordinator.
