SDS Buddies – Creating Meaningful Connections for First Year Students

Transitioning into the first year of a university program can be tough, whether a student is entering directly from high school, transferring from another institution, or after spending time away from school after being in the workforce. The Social Development Studies (SDS) Buddies program, launched in September 2019, aims to help with this transition, providing peer support by pairing incoming SDS students with an upper year SDS student. SDS buddies provide additional support to new students, as a go-to person for questions or guidance.
