Introducing THRIVE Table Talks

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the THRIVE Table Talks Pilot Program, an exciting new opportunity designed to bring THRIVE students and peer mentors together over good food, meaningful conversations and shared experiences!

Inspired by GCSU’s successful Table Talk program, THRIVE Table Talks will provide complimentary meals at The MAX for eligible THRIVE students and their peer mentors on designated program days. This one-year pilot helps remove a financial barrier associated with a required component of the THRIVE program while creating even more opportunities for mentoring, relationship-building, social development and meaningful campus engagement.

How It Works

Eligible Participants

• Up to six (6) THRIVE students per semester
• Up to six (6) peer mentors per semester

Meal Benefit

• Enjoy a complimentary meal at The MAX
• Available Tuesdays and Thursdays
• One meal per approved participant per eligible meal period
• Unused meals do not accumulate or roll over

Pilot Period

Oct. 1, 2026 – May 31, 2027

We can’t wait to see THRIVE students and peer mentors gather around the table, make connections, strengthen relationships and create meaningful memories together!

Here’s to good food, great conversations and an even stronger THRIVE community!
