Some of Harvard’s romantically-minded freshmen gathered together Thursday night for the College’s second annual speed dating event, “Sex, Love, Harvard.”
The event, which was co-sponsored by the Center for Wellness and the Freshman Dean’s Office, was complete with free Bolocco burritos, cookies, and representatives from different campus support groups.
“The idea was conceived last year because we wanted to do some programming around sexual health but we also thought it would be fun to host a speed dating event,” said Rory Michelle Sullivan ’09, the Director for Residential Education and Arts Initiatives at the Freshman Dean’s Office. “So in the end we thought, why not combine both?”
The result was a social event that also provided students with information on available support and resources for related topics on campus. A variety of student organizations, including Contact Peer Counseling and Radcliffe Union of Students, distributed information to students at the event.
In between the two rounds of speed dating, a panel of upperclassmen reflected on their own dating experiences at Harvard.
The event attracted over 50 freshmen, who said that they decided to attend for a variety of reasons.
“I am frustrated with my dating situation right now and I am here for an outlet and to meet a woman,” said Michael A. New ’15. “I am tired of random hookups.”
