Abstract
As the Covid-19 pandemic struck, universities locked down and swiftly moved programs online. Institutions were forced to rethink how to continue supporting students eeectively as well as remotely. The Study Buddi peer support program adeptly swapped face-to-face library drop-ins to online delivery via a collaborate link. The team of 22 student leaders upskilled their technology talents and learned how to use breakout rooms, screen sharing, and interactive whiteboards. Because the Study Buddies program shifted from geographic campus locations to online delivery, there were more team members to extend online service capacity to six hours a day, four days per week. The drop-in collaborate link provided all students with a point of connection in a time of disconnection.
