ODI-Mystery Coffee Date

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion presents 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.

Matching will be generated randomly and will occur weekly. You choose how often you participate. 

Sign-up for Mystery coffee dates is free (please use UDM email).  A password is not necessary. You complete the login by clicking the confirmation link in your email.  

You will be randomly matched with a different partner from the Dental School every Monday. Once matched, you will both receive an e-mail with your details, details of the partner, and their email address (in the “to” line).  Once you receive your matching email (contact your date to confirm a time/day) you can Schedule UDM-Dental Blind Coffee Date, select your date and time and you will receive your calendar invitation and zoom link.
