How to Search for Classmates in my Community Group?

At this time, there is no way to search for other members in our private community groups. However, our web development team is considering this as a possible feature for a future rollout. 

In the meantime, one way to connect with students from class is to make a post in the community group, inviting those from your breakout session to connect with you. Please note that while people might not always use the same community group name as in class, we encourage consistency to help make connections easier.

Also, make sure your profile card is turned on in your community profile page. This ensures that when others want to reach out privately, your chosen contact info is visible. You have full control over what’s shared and with whom—either the whole community or only selected students. (Tip: you might be able to use this to reconnect with your recent breakout group partners by scanning the list for their names.)

Here's how to update your Profile Card:

• In the Community Group, click your profile icon in the top menu bar.
• Below your display name, you'll see your "Get in Touch Card".
• Decide if you'd like this card to be visible:
  • Toggle OFF if you do not want it displayed
  • Toggle ON if you'd like it to be visible to others 👁️

• For “Who can see your contact information?”, choose either:
  • Everyone in the community – your contact info will be viewable by all members.
  • Only people I select – your info will only be shared with specific people you choose 🔒)
• If you choose Only people I select:
  • Click Add People to open a list of fellow students.
  • Scan the list and check the box next to the names of those you’d like to share your info with. 

• Under Contact Methods:
  • Click Contact type to pick an option (e.g. Phone, Email, Facebook, Instagram, etc 📱✉️).
  • Enter the information and click Add Contact.
  • Repeat for each contact you’d like to include.
  • To remove a contact later, click the redtrash can icon 🗑️.

• Once you're done, click the Save Profile Card Settings button to finalize your updates 💾

Once saved, your contact info will appear (for the people you’ve chosen) when someone clicks your name within the community group. You can update this anytime.

Happy connecting!
