Buddy Program

The SHBT Buddy Program is responsible for organizing social and program-sponsored events throughout the year to help promote community within SHBT and provide students with valuable resources. Events include welcome parties for incoming G1s, forums for discussing grant/funding opportunities, in-person and virtual hangouts, and discussions about graduate life. The SHBT Buddy Program coordinators are also responsible for pairing incoming G1s with older students who serve as mentors/resources for the G1s throughout their first year. Students in this role are offered Peer Mentoring training via the Harvard Griffin GSAS Office of Student Services.
