In collaboration with the UCSB Library, join Health and Wellness for an interactive afternoon of Speed Friending (like speed dating, but for friendships!). Participants will be given a set of questions with topics related to the 2025 UCSB Reads selection The Book of Delights by Ross Gay, and engage in a fun activity centered around cultivating new friendships. Join other students in a safe space to discuss common themes in the book such as finding delight and joy in everyday moments, appreciation for the small things in life, and the power of human connections.
Light refreshments will be served. Event is free and open to all students. The first 25 students to arrive will receive a free limited edition tote bag of the UCSB Reads book The Book of Delights by Ross Gay.
If you would like to pick up a free copy of the UCSB Reads book in advance, please contact UCSBReads@library.ucsb.edu
