Two big moments on campus that Bumble BFF should definitely be a part of this school year are AMFest in the spring and the annual Veloric concert in the fall. AMFest is a major celebration at AU that brings together students across different orgs and interests. It’s the perfect opportunity for Bumble BFF to host a friendship-focused pop-up — think picnic spaces, BFF photo booths, or interactive games that encourage new connections. The Veloric concert is one of the most anticipated events each fall, with huge student turnout and a high-energy atmosphere. Bumble BFF could tap into this moment with branded giveaways, a pre-show “find your concert buddy” meet-up, or a chill lounge space for students to connect before the event starts. Both events align perfectly with Bumble BFF’s mission of creating real-world spaces for meaningful friendships to form.

To promote Bumble’s values in my community, I would focus on creating safe, welcoming spaces both online and in real life that celebrate connection, kindness, and inclusivity. As a naturally social and creative person, I love bringing people together — whether it’s through curated events like “bring-a-friend” brunches, wellness walks, or themed study nights, or by sharing content that reflects real, empowering moments of friendship. I’d also aim to spotlight underrepresented voices and encourage conversations around healthy relationships and boundaries, tying in Bumble’s values of respect and equality. By using my platform authentically, and leading with warmth and intention, I’d work to make Bumble BFF not just an app, but a movement people on campus feel proud to be part of.
