Buddy System

Back to Resources Page

The department is instituting a system whereby we assign Abuddies@ to the incoming first-year students. These buddies are advanced students who can interact freely with the new students and can provide them with advice, encouragement, information, etc.

Please contact the person assigned to you as a "buddy" and get to know him or her, and use him/her as a resource when you have questions, want to know what to expect next, etc. Obviously you should also get to know many other advanced students as well; hopefully doing so will help to make the transition to graduate school as easy as possible.
