Crossed, the innovative social networking app focused on fostering authentic, in-person connections, successfully held a two-day event on the University of Tampa’s campus to introduce students to the platform. The event, held at Vaughn Courtyard and in front of the Sykes College of Business, saw thousands of students engage with the Crossed team, download the app, and explore how it can enhance their daily college experience.
The event featured a vibrant setup, with a large tent, exciting prizes, and raffles to engage students as they passed by on their way to classes or the cafeteria. Manny Manzel, CEO of Crossed, along with co-founder Conor Crighton, were on-site to personally meet students alongside a team of volunteers from various sororities on campus. The goal of the event was clear: to show students that Crossed is more than just another corporate-backed app. Instead, it’s a tool designed by former college students, just like them, to help make meaningful, real-life connections.
“We were thrilled with the turnout at our recent event on the University of Tampa campus,” said Conor. “Seeing thousands of students eagerly download Crossed and express genuine excitement about integrating it into their social lives was incredibly rewarding. Their positive reception and enthusiasm reaffirmed our belief that Crossed is the future of social networking. It was clear that students see real value in an app that prioritizes authentic, in-person connections, and we’re excited to continue building on this momentum.”
Throughout the two days, hundreds of students stopped by the Crossed table every hour, eager to learn about the app’s unique offerings. The team shared how Crossed can help students meet new people, engage in activities around campus, and make their networking experiences more meaningful.
“The energy at the University of Tampa event was amazing,” added Manny. “What really stood out to me was how quickly students grasped the unique value of Crossed. It wasn’t just about the downloads; it was the conversations we had with them about wanting more meaningful, real-life interactions in a world dominated by superficial connections. The feedback confirmed that we’re solving a real problem, and it was exciting to see how much the students appreciated an app that brings authenticity back into networking.”
By the end of the event, thousands of students had downloaded Crossed, marking a significant step forward in the app’s expansion on college campuses. Crossed looks forward to continuing its mission of bringing genuine connections to the college community, and events like these will play a crucial role in driving awareness and adoption.
