Getting a date may be a little easier after the East Area Speed Dating meet-and-greet.
Or, at least, it may be a little quicker.
At 8:15 p.m. Thursday, the Fresh Food Company clubroom will become a dating hub where students can try to meet new friends and possibly find a special someone.
Troy seniors Sara Seckel and Katlyn Witt and Linden junior Jake Sproul helped organize the speed dating night.
"A lot of people have a hard time meeting other people and this is a good way they can make friendships and hopefully relationships as well," said Witt, who, along with Sproul, is an Emmons resident assistant.
There will be three circles - including a heterosexual circle and two homosexual circles, one for males and one for females, Seckel said.
Students will be encouraged to introduce themselves and get to know each member of their "circle" for three minutes, she said.
"We were adamant to let everyone come so nobody feels excluded because their sexual orientation isn't represented," Witt said.
In a provided notebook, students can write names of the people they are interested in and submit them to one of the hosts, who then sees if both parties have each other's name written down, she said.
"We'll let them know there was a match and put them in contact via e-mail," she said.
The event mainly is for students who live in Woldt, Emmons, Saxe, Herrig, Celani and Fabiano halls, Witt said, but other students can ask for permission.
Seckel said each circle will be limited to 50 people.
