## What is Pear?

Want to meet new people on Cornell's campus? Pear matches you with a new friend each week!

Through a matching algorithm, we "pear" you up with other Cornell students with similar interests and campus involvement on a weekly basis. 

Campus life can be busy and meeting new people can be hard. Pear makes meeting new people simple and easy.  Go stargazing on the weekend, grab dinner in College Town, drive down to New York for the weekend. The opportunities for you and your Pear are endless!

Pear will match you with someone based on mutual interests and place you in a chat room where you can make plans with your newfound friend! 

Pear is an app developed by Cornell AppDev, the open source app development project team at Cornell University. Check us out at cornellappdev.com

Put yourself out there and grab a Pear!
