Bring A Buddy

The purpose of the Bring A Buddy Campaign is to increase student safety by promoting the buddy system. Bring A Buddy campaign encourages students to never walk alone whether they are walking home from the library at night or walking home from the bars. This campaign works with Joan Duffey (the mother of Eric Duffey, a UW-Stevens Point student, who unfortunately passed away in 2012 while walking alone). Our message is to have a plan when you are going places and never go alone.

This campaign is put in place to inform our community of ways to get home and help your friends get home safely. This buddy system is put in place to break the traditional men walk the women home and then get themselves home alone (rather everyone needs the buddy system).

This app is our attempt to provide a hands on way for students to remember to not walk home alone.
