Hop-In Buddy Program
The Hop-In Buddy Program is an opportunity to foster a network of support for and among Hop-In students. The goal of the program is to aid in the academic, emotional, and socio-cultural adjustment of Hop-In students by actively involving upper-class students, alums, faculty, and staff with the Hop-In program. The Buddy Program matches first and second year Hop-In students with third and fourth year Hop-In students. Third and fourth year students will be matched with recent Hop-In alumni, faculty, and staff members.
