OR

(ii)  Enrich, empower, and equip undergraduates with knowledge, resources and skills on social interaction and relationship-building for personal and professional development.

OR

(iii)  Creative social interaction ideas or projects that do not duplicate any existing service; projects that serve as a testing pad for innovative social interaction concepts for undergraduates.
