IGNITE Speed Friending – University of Guelph-Humber
Tue, Aug 27 @ 12:00 pm – Thu, Aug 29 @ 12:00 pm
At IGNITE, your choice makes a difference!
You’ve probably heard about speed dating before, but what about speed friending?
We know that being a first-year student can be intimidating. You most likely don’t know anyone, you’re starting your post-secondary journey at a new school and maybe even moving out of your parents’ home. We get it, it’s challenging.
One thing that can significantly enhance your post-secondary experience is having a friend – or friends – you can rely on.
That’s why every semester, IGNITE hosts Speed Friending, an event designed to help you make connections and, potentially, find your new best friend.
Are you bad at breaking the ice? Don’t worry, we’ve prepared a variety of get-to-know-you games and activities to facilitate conversations between strangers.
If you’re a first-year student starting this fall, join us from Aug. 27 to 29 at 12:15 p.m. at the North Atrium for an event full of other first-year students and long-lasting connections!
Besides the opportunity to meet your next college best friend, we’ll also be providing bubble tea and waffles for those who attend. After all, what’s better than free snacks?!
Don’t miss out!
When is it?
From Tuesday, Aug. 27, to Thursday, Aug. 29.
Speed Friending will start at 12:15 p.m. on each day.
Where is it?
North Atrium
How can I register?
