Make friends in a flash

It’s all about quick conversations but lasting connections at our Speed Friending event this February. Join us for a fast-paced, fun-filled event where you’ll meet new people, share laughs, and maybe even find your next bestie. Whether you’ve just joined us this semester or have been here from the start, it’s the more the merrier at this open event. 

With icebreakers at the ready, ResLife Ambassadors will guide you through quick 5-minute meets designed to help you get to know new people and find your tribe - it’s like speed dating, but for friendships! 

Come for the conversations, stay for the connections, and leave with a few more friends than you came with.  

Ready, set, friend! Join us at Polden Commons on campus:  

Polden Commons 

RLAs Kamal and Maddie will be at Polden Commons to welcome you when you arrive. Don’t worry if you’ve never been to a speed-dating style event before, they’ll explain how everything works and make sure you’re comfortable before you get started.


You will have timed 5-minute conversations with every attendee, with icebreakers available to help you get started and skip the awkward small talk. Don’t worry if you don’t make connections with everyone, just be yourself and enjoy the fun.


Plus, what’s an event without snacks? We’ll have drinks and refreshments for you to enjoy while you get to know everyone. Help us make this event a sustainable one by bringing your own cup to enjoy the refreshments.
