MADE FOR YOUR CAMPUS
Purpose-built for university Buddy Programmes.
From first registration to lasting connections, give your team and students one shared experience.
THE BROADDY WAY · HOW IT WORKS
Less administration.
More meaningful connections.
A clear path to register, connect, manage the programme and get help when needed.
Get approved and connect
Coordinators approve mentors. Approved local students then choose an incoming student using interests, faculty and arrival details. Contact details appear after they connect.
Keep the programme moving
Track open requests and approaching arrivals, then assign or release a connection when needed.
Example dashboard · faculty names anonymizedGet help when needed
Students use Get Help in the web app to send a question or report a problem. Broaddy creates a Salesforce Case for coordinators to review and reply.
Example Case · personal details anonymizedBefore a connection is made, names and contact details stay hidden. Mentors choose using interests, faculty and arrival information.
BUILT FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY
Tools to manage your university Buddy Programme.
Give students a clear path to a Buddy and coordinators the tools to guide it. From the first invitation to the next arrival, Broaddy keeps the key steps of your programme together.
01
Targeted registration links
Create separate links for local and incoming students, with their university, faculty and role already selected. Each group starts on the right registration path.
02
Mentor approval
Review local student applications and approve or reject volunteers. Approved mentors can then browse incoming students who are looking for a Buddy.
03
Student-led selection
Mentors browse profiles using interests, faculty and arrival plans, then choose whom to support. Names and contact details stay hidden until they connect.
04
Coordinator intervention
Step in when a student needs help: make a manual match, release an existing connection or hide an open request while you resolve it.
05
Reports that guide action
Find students who still need a mentor, see approaching arrivals and review recent connections by faculty. Focus attention where it is needed next.
06
Campus-specific settings
Set faculty matching rules, arrival locations, interest tags and mentor capacity to reflect how your university runs its Buddy Programme.
EMAIL ACTIVITY TRACKING
See how students engage with your emails.
Monitor delivery, opens and clicks across programme emails. Compare templates to see which messages students open and click.

ABOUT BROADDY
A better welcome starts with a connection.
Broaddy began with an idea at the Czech University of Life Sciences in 2013: help incoming students meet local peers. The first version launched in 2014, and the platform has grown to support Buddy Programmes beyond its first campus.
Our aim is to make cultural exchange and friendship part of a student's arrival. Broaddy brings students together and gives university teams a way to support those connections.
