Surgeon General Launches Nationwide “We Are Made to Connect” College Tour to Inspire Students to Build, Strengthen, and Prioritize Relationships
After Warning about the Profound Public Health Challenge Loneliness Poses – Especially for Young Adults – Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy to Issue 5-for-5 Connection Challenge to Students to Help Build More Connection in Their Lives
(Washington, DC) -- Recognizing the significant challenges that loneliness, social isolation, and mental health pose to college-aged Americans, the Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Vivek Murthy, is launching the national “We Are Made to Connect” Tour. The Surgeon General will travel to colleges across the country beginning today and throughout the month of November to inspire people to incorporate moments of connection into their daily lives to help improve their health and well-being.
The stops will be interactive experiences where Dr. Murthy will issue a 5-for-5 Connection Challenge to students, challenging them to take 5 actions for 5 days that express gratitude, offer support, or ask for help from people in their lives. These types of actions are outlined in the Surgeon General’s Advisory on Our Epidemic of Loneliness as ways that people can catalyze social connection. As outlined in the Advisory, social connection can advance physical, mental and cognitive health, and it is even associated with a decreased risk of mortality.
“I am thrilled to embark on the We Are Made to Connect Tour and speak to young people about healthy relationships and their impact on mental health. Loneliness is a widespread national health problem – one that impacts young Americans at surprisingly high rates,” said U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy . “Just like exercise and nutrition, our relationships with one another are fundamental components of our overall health and well-being. The tour and connection challenge will help students learn how to better incorporate moments of connection into their daily lives.”
The Surgeon General will kick off the “We Are Made to Connect” Tour at Duke University today, where he will be in conversation with Duke men’s basketball coach Jon Scheyer and associate professor of American religious history Kate Bowler. Tomorrow, he will be at the University of Virginia for the second stop. He will be in conversation with psychology professor Joseph Allen, and university students.
Current tour stops are included below:
- October 25: Duke University (Durham, NC)
- November 3: University of Washington (Seattle, WA)
- November 8: University of Texas at Austin (Austin, TX)
- TBC: Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ)
- November 27: NYC students (Brooklyn, NY)
- November 28: Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA)
- TBC: Hampton University (Hampton, VA)
The “We Are Made to Connect” Tour will feature MTV Entertainment Studios and Active Minds’ Acknowledge, Support, and Keep-InTouch (A.S.K.) multi-media campaign . A.S.K. provides a framework for peer support and promotes conversation by encouraging people to ask questions to better support their friends and loved ones. As part of this, tour stops will include interactive connection opportunities around Dr. Murthy’s conversations.
Earlier this year, Dr. Murthy released the Surgeon General’s Advisory on Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation , which warned about the profound mental and physical health risks that social disconnection poses, and the growing loneliness problem among college-aged students. Recent studies show that rates of loneliness among young adults have increased every year between 1976 and 2019, and in 2021 , young adults were almost twice as likely to report feeling lonely as those over the age of 65. Throughout his tenure serving as Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy has consistently worked to address the youth mental health crisis in the country, releasing an Advisory on Protecting Youth Mental Health in December 2021 and an Advisory on Social Media and Youth Mental Health this May.

College tour season is about to kick off. Here are 10 tips from college tour guides to have a successful campus visit.
- As spring starts, colleges nationwide will welcome parents and students to tour their campuses.
- College tour guides want people to arrive on time, ask the right questions, and have fun.
- They also recommend students take the tours on their own, without their parents.
Spring break is right around the corner, and for many high-school students and their parents, that means many will be hitting the road to tour colleges around the country.
To make the most of your visit, Business Insider spoke with college students and tour guides. They know the campuses like the backs of their hands, and they know how to walk backward.
Here are the dos and don'ts of college tours from student guides .
1. Get there with no time to spare, but don't be late.
You won't get points for arriving early, so try to arrive on time. But if you do happen to arrive late , there's no need to worry.
"If something comes up and you are late, ask your guide what you missed once the tour finishes," Skyler Kawecki-Muonio, a senior at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, told BI. "They will happily fill you in."
2. Dress to impress, but don't sacrifice comfort.
It's important to look nice, but you don't have to don a jacket and tie. Tour-goers should put their best foot forward with a sturdy pair of walking shoes , and don't forget to dress for the weather.
"At Fairleigh Dickinson, tours go out rain or shine, so make sure to wear clothes that will keep you warm," Emily Bone, a junior at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, said .
3. Don't forget to sign in, but skip the résumé .
Most schools have a check-in desk where you'll receive a campus map and other literature. But don't bother furnishing schools with your portfolio.
"Students can leave their résumés at home," Henry Millar, a senior at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, said. "Tour guides generally do not have any sway in the admissions process whatsoever, so feel free to save the paper."
4. Pay attention on the tour, but do it solo if possible.
Some schools offer to let parents and kids take separate tours, which has advantages.
"Get excited about your child's potential future in college, but give them some space to see what they think of that school on their own," Nathan Weisbrod, a junior at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, told BI.
Related stories
Students can comfortably ask questions without a parent present and compare notes afterward .
5. Ask all your questions, but avoid personal interrogations.
This is the time to inquire about any aspect of campus life , and don't feel shy about speaking up.
"Tour guides love getting questions because it allows us to cater the tour, especially in small groups, toward the needs and interests of the families on that specific tour," Halle Spataro, a senior at Bucknell University, said.
But some topics are off-limits, so don't ask your tour guide about their SAT scores , ACT scores , or what they wrote about in their essay .
6. Speak up, but let the student take the lead.
Parents may be tempted to raise their hands again and again, but this tour is about the student, so there should be space to let them shine.
"Try to take the back seat — or the passenger seat — but refrain from driving all of your child's interactions," Julian Jacklin, a junior at Reed College in Oregon, said. "Students who feel they can own that experience usually ask the most questions and engage with the tour more."
7. Say thanks, but don't leave with questions unanswered.
Maybe your guide didn't hear you, or your kid was reluctant to speak up. You can still get the information you want before leaving.
"There's a lot of information students are getting that day and a lot of excitement with being in a new place, which can make people forget to ask certain questions," Lorenzo Mars, a junior at Pepperdine University in California, said.
Therefore, get your tour guide's email address so that you can follow up .
8. You may know exactly what school is right but keep an open mind.
Don't be surprised if a city-living kid is suddenly intrigued by a small-town setting.
"The college search and college experience are all about getting to know yourself better and growing, so on a tour, students have to trust themselves and their judgment of the 'world' they've just stepped into," Thomas Elias, a senior at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, said .
9. Take in as much as possible, but remember to have fun.
Sure, preparing for the next four years can be scary and stressful. But it's also an exciting milestone, so enjoy the ride.
"These tours serve as great opportunities to learn more about colleges — along with their cities, culture, and people," Connor Gee, a sophomore at the University of Mississippi, said. "Have fun with it!"
10. Weigh the pros and cons of the school, but don't stop there.
Your tour may be over, but you can still learn other ways to immerse yourself in college life .
"See if the school offers additional experiences, like eating in the cafeteria or attending a class," Emily Balda, a senior at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, said. "Consider it 'food for thought.'"

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations
By Claudia Looi 2 Comments
Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.
Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.
Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.
The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean
To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.
The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:
1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.
2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.
10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

What is the difference between these 2 Moscow metro tours on the same tour group page? One is less expensive than the other but both have positive reviews.

https://www.getyourguide.com/moscow-l181/moscow-metro-tour-t19283/
We would like to go on this tour but could not decide which one to book. Thank you.
I see the only difference - one mentioned Spanish-speaking guide, the other not-presumably English...
I've seen one more - for 60+ euro!
Looks a bit unreal :)))
