Looking to make friends outside your program and meet graduate students from around the world? Join CIRCLE’s Speed-Friending—a fun, low-pressure way to grow your UW network quickly. In 90 minutes, you’ll rotate through guided conversations using prompt cards, take a short snack break, and then meet a new set of people. Come solo or bring a friend—share only what you feel comfortable with. It’s easy, welcoming, and designed for busy international graduate students who want meaningful connections. Leave with study buddies, coffee pals, and future collaborators!
