NST ConnectEd™

Meaningful Connection. Scalable Impact.

NST ConnectEd™, powered by No Small Talk, helps colleges and universities spark authentic conversation and build stronger campus communities. It is a turnkey dialogue program built for residence life, campus events, and more. Beyond connections, it also fosters better discourse, helping navigate division and diverging opinions in today’s polarizing climate.

Alongside the tailored deck, the ConnectEd Hub includes a downloadable Campus Discourse Guide, a Programming Menu Blueprint, and a Facilitator Playbook Toolkit. These resources were designed to help campuses pilot and integrate the initiative with ease. Visit our 'Contact' tab to discuss bulk card order options.
