ConnectOne is an application that helps first-generation iSchool students overcome their lack of information by giving them all they need to know about their school environment. ConnectOne grants students access to necessary school information and upcoming events as well as providing them a place to organize their hectic college schedules. Our project yielded significant results, with students reporting that ConnectOne not only increases their confidence but also their academic success. By bridging the gap between information and accessibility, ConnectOne makes sure that first-generation students feel supported throughout their educational paths starting from day one.
