Website connecting students over the summer expanding to Ivy League
Kristin QianSummer Playbook, an online map of the summer locations of Ivy League students, is expanding later this month to encompass all Ivy League colleges, including the University.Neeraj Bajpayee ’17 is mapping University students’ summer locations, expanding the website founded by Harvard sophomore Luke Heine last April.Heine said that many people have asked why the site is only restricted to the Ivy League, with people raising concerns about elitism.“It’s not supposed to feel that way,” Heine said, “and I don’t want that to shine through.”He explained that he chose the Ivy League because there is camaraderie — or “shared culture” — between the schools.Ivy League students are also some of the most likely students to travel all over the world during the summer, Heine added.Summer Playbook is taking part in a venture capital incubator for startup companies but is currently a not-for profit project, Heine said.The endeavor started off as a Facebook post in which Heine asked his classmates to mark the places where they would be over the summer, he said.
