Student Buddy Project

Many students encounter obstacles in their studying due to a disability or other special needs. One way is to give students the opportunity to discuss their challenges with peers, which can help in dealing with them. The Student Buddy Project supports this goal. You as a student can become a Student Buddy in this project for another student.
