Mystery Coffee Dates

What more brings people closer together than sharing a cup of coffee?

Mystery coffee dates will give you the opportunity to randomly pair with colleagues and students for zoom coffee dates. This practice facilitates student and colleague bonding, builds new relationships, provides a basis for exchanging ideas, and encourages more interaction between colleagues and students of different backgrounds.

Sign-up for Mystery coffee dates, it is free (please use UDM email).  A password is not necessary. You complete the login by clicking a confirmation link in an email.  Matching will be generated randomly and will occur weekly. You choose how often you participate.  You will be randomly matched with a different partner from the Dental School every Monday.

 

You will both receive an e-mail with your contact details, details of the partner, and a few questions for a pleasant start to the conversation.
