The Abode Directory isn’t just a list of names - it’s your digital handshake with the people you’ll be sharing this experience with. Think of it as your personalized roadmap to building real connections across your cohort, program, and company before Day 1 and throughout your journey.
Here’s why exploring the Directory early (and often!) can elevate your onboarding experience:
🤝 Why the Directory Matters
👋 Know Your People Early
Scroll through profiles, learn who’s who, connect on Social Media, and break the ice with teammates, mentors, and fellow interns before your first meeting.
🔗 Build Real Connections
Whether you're looking for someone from your university, in the same city, or on the same team, the Directory search bar makes it easy to find people you click with.
📌 Stay in the Loop
Many teams use the Directory to pull your Abode Public Profile data for introductions, to send swag directly to your home, buddy matching, and even shoutouts - so keeping your profile up-to-date helps you shine.
🧠 Boost Comfort & Confidence
Familiar names and faces reduce those Day 1 nerves. The Directory helps you feel more at home from the very beginning.
