Alumni Buddy Program

Key support for Esade students’ successful integration

Esade Alumni is partnering with Esade to launch the Alumni Buddy Program, a mentoring program designed to support first-year bachelor’s degree students (especially scholarship recipients and international students) integrate into both the school and their new city.  

Every new beginning comes with emotions, expectations, and challenges. This is why our Alumni Buddies (recently graduated alumni or upperclassmen/women) are offering their experience, guidance, and support to make this transition a more fluid, enriching period full of opportunities.

How does it work? 

The Alumni Buddy Program is a voluntary program in which first-year students are paired up with Alumni Buddies who share their interests, language, nationality, or other affinities. Throughout the first academic year, the Buddies and the students meet periodically to:                                                                                        

 

Through informal meetings and conversational spaces, the Buddies can be role models and approachable mentors for the new students as they guide them through this new phase.

The Alumni Buddy Program takes place during the first academic semester, from September to January, a key period in new students’ adaptation.

“The best part of having a Buddy was having someone who has already gone through what I’m just starting. He helped me understand how classes work and discover parts of the city I didn’t know about.” — First-year BBA student  

“Participating as an Alumni Buddy was a great opportunity to give back to Esade everything it gave me. It enabled me to meet the new generations and feel like an active part of the community.” — Alumni Buddy
