Anchored in support, Launched with care☕✨

Buddy Up is the Division of Student Affairs' casual, peer-to-peer program that pairs seasoned staff (Anchor Buddies) with newer team members (Launch Buddies). Through relaxed coffee chats and friendly conversations, Buddies connect, share insights, whether you're just launching into your new position or are a steady Laker, DSA’s anchor, Buddy Up is all about making connections and growing stronger, building a more well-being oriented collaborative division — one Buddy at a time.
