Blue Devil Buddies is a one-on-one mentorship program created by Duke Student Government in 2020 that matches incoming students with current students. The program aims to help incoming students navigate the transition to Duke by fostering a connection with a current undergraduate who can provide support, advice, and mentorship throughout the fall and spring semesters. Whether it’s picking classes and clubs or adjusting to the college environment, mentees can receive support from their mentor on a wide range of topics.
