Happening tomorrow (Friday): Speed friending at 5pm in Stata!

RSVP here to help us make event plans: https://forms.gle/A6yzvk8D18Cw56yq6

What is speed friending?
Speed Friending is a virtual event where individuals are paired off for short periods of time in a round-robin fashion. During these short intervals, each pair will get the opportunity to talk, answer some prompts from the host, make a connection and possibly spark a new friendship. We will have a special twist for our speed friending exercise!

The event will be in the Kiva room (32-G449) at 5pm on Feb 10.
