Hi everyone,

This semester, we are initiating a campus-wide program to encourage spontaneous 1-1 and small group socializing between graduate students. To participate, just fill out a form with details about yourself and who you’d like to meet and we’ll connect you to the best match.

 How it works:

  1. Fill out the form here by 5 pm (EST) Friday, 02/12.
  2. By the end of the weekend, we will email you and your match(es) with what you've paired on and suggested meeting times.
  3. Hop on a zoom call or meet up outside! If meeting in person, please obey social distancing and wear masks. If you aren't feeling well, please meet over Zoom.

You can use this program in many different ways! For example, use it to socialize with different majors (or within your own), to find connections for your interdisciplinary projects, find a running buddy, or seek advice from other students.  

This program will run once every three weeks. The form is open for one week and we will send out matches the following week.

 Data privacy disclaimer:

We will never share any individual’s form answers. We may publish aggregate information about form responses (not including responses about cultural or gender identity) to help ensure the continuation of this program. You may permit or deny the inclusion of your data in the aggregate info we publish with the questions at the end of the form.

 If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or want to help with the program, please reach out to grad-coffee-chats@andrew.cmu.edu.

Happy coffee-chatting,

Grad Coffee Chats Team
