What is BioBuds?

BioBuds is a CBS mentorship program that pairs CBS underclassmen with CBS upperclassmen to foster mentor-mentee relationships within our community. Mentors and mentees are paired are based off of shared identities, interests, academic studies, and career goals (among other things that you identify as most important to you). You will be connected with your match at the beginning of the semester and will meet with your BioBud throughout the semester to strengthen your relationship. The CBS Student Board will hold a required kickoff event for the program, followed by optional events throughout the semester.
