Looking to meet new people fast? Join the Student Events Board aka (seb) for their Speed Friending event, a fun, low-pressure way to connect with other new UMBC students!

You'll rotate through short, guided conversations designed to spark easy, genuine connections and no awkward small talk required! Whether you're hoping to find a study buddy, a dining hall companion, or your next campus bestie, Speed Friending helps you break the ice and start building your UMBC community from day one.

Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and leave with new faces, new names, and maybe even new friends. Retriever friendships start here!
