Buddy program - Product Design
As a new student, you are automatically assigned to a buddy group. You do not need to sign up. Activities are not mandatory, but we encourage everyone to participate!
The program is subject to change. Buddies will keep you informed of any updates.
Questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us on the buddy board or the person responsible for each day (see schedule below).
