The role of buddy patrols during semester start is to ensure a safe first week at the university for those participating in buddy group activities, by being visible and present in various locations around town. At our stand, we distribute water and snacks while chatting with students who are exploring their new surroundings.
If mom had known that you'd be here, she would have been delighted!

Who can volunteer?
UiA students and staff and representatives from SiA, STA, the Buddy Team and the municipalities of Kristiansand and Grimstad can sign up to be volunteers during Welcome Week.
All the happy students we encounter as buddy patrol volunteers make it truly valuable to be a part of this!
