Cupid's Mixer
starts at 7 p.m. February 12, 2026
Nebraska Union, Platte River Room
Ditch the dating apps and take a chance to organically discover new friends or possibly a date for Valentine’s Day.
A very popular event. More than 275 students have participated since 2024.
Think speed dating - with a twist. In a fun and lively atmosphere, attendees will enjoy live conversation with new individuals and possibly connect with a potential valentine and/or make a friend or two. Fly solo, bring friends, or just attend for the vibes. It is a low-pressure setting. Come as you are and let Cupid handle the rest.
Throughout the evening, enjoy free Valentine candies, mocktail drinks, and good music, too.
FREE for UNL students with Event Pass.
Attendees should arrive early - doors open promptly at 7 p.m.
