Returning Graduate Student Sign Up
Are you a returning graduate student who would like to help a first year grad student adjust to Berkeley? Join our buddies program!

Please fill out this form so we can learn more about you and find a good match! We will be providing information about you to the first year students who enroll in the program so they can indicate their preference on who their buddy is. Before we assign buddies, we will host a meet-up for everyone interested in the buddy program so that you all can meet the potential buddies.

Participants can choose to meet up virtually or in-person, and we encourage you all to meet at least once a month. We'll also be hosting fun events for all our buddies throughout the semester. More details will be sent once you have signed up.

To sign up as a returning grad student, this must be at least your second semester as a graduate student at Berkeley. You should also have interest in being a part of Graduate Women in Engineering (GWE). All identities are welcome in GWE!

If you have any questions, please email Kalie at Kalie@berkeley.edu.
