Complex Conversations
Connecting, Relating, and Communicating in the Digital Age
This series of Complex Conversations is designed for higher education professionals who are ready to engage with today's most nuanced topics in digital connection and relationships.
Some conversations don't have easy answers. Complex Conversations is a professional development series that leans into the topics many of us find difficult to address. Across these sessions, participants will build knowledge, language, and confidence to have these conversations with the autistic and neurodivergent students they serve.

SESSION 1: Navigating the Digital Dating Landscape
WHEN: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
TIME: 3:00 – 4:00 pm EST
PRESENTERS: Lise Keeney, Introflirt University, and Stefanie Suppa, Uneepi
DESCRIPTION: Dating is hard. For autistic and neurodivergent college students, it can also be isolating, confusing, and really easy to get it wrong without the right support. This session features two complementary resources that support students in this often-overlooked dimension of life. Uneepi, is a dating platform built with autistic users in mind and Introflirt University (rebrand in progress!) is a practical educational series on dating - online and off. Together, they aim to give autistic students the knowledge and confidence to find connection on their own terms. Participants will gain an understanding of how to support students navigating online relationships, along with safety considerations across environments.
