About SABER Buddies

The SABER Buddies Program is an optional program coordinated by the Mentoring Committee. The goals of the SABER Buddies program are to:

  • Welcome people who are new, newish, or returning to the SABER Annual meeting
  • Promote connectivity and networking among attendees
  • Help make the meeting impactful and enjoyable for all!

The SABER Meeting Buddies groups meet casually before, during, and after the SABER Annual Meeting to share tips about meeting others at SABER, discuss interesting talks or presentations at the meeting, and provide follow-up support and reflections.

Questions about SABER buddies? Please contact one of the committee co-chairs: Angela Kaczowka akaczowka@arizona.edu or Keenan Noyes noyeskee@msu.edu. 


Getting Involved with the SABER Buddies Program

If you choose to participate in the SABER Buddies Program you will be assigned to a Buddies group. Each Buddies group consists of roughly six to 10 individuals (four to six buddies and two to three lead buddies who serve as guides). We need participants from both groups, so please sign up if interested.
