What is Best Buddies?

Best Buddies at UC Davis is a chapter of Best Buddies International. BBI was founded in 1989 with the mission to promote inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD. Best Buddies envisions a world in which total inclusion at school, work, and within friendships is the norm, not the exception.

Need Campus Help? ‘Ask an Aggie’

Ask an Aggie is a virtual platform for students who have general questions about the many resources and programs offered by campus. It helps students become more aware of what is available to them and get assistance connecting with resources and navigating campus systems. Students will meet via Zoom with trained student peers from the Aggie Mental Health Ambassador team. To help with the transition to the new fall quarter, the service hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. between September 9 and October 11.
