Peer Education

Peer Education programs are based on the belief that students are highly effective in influencing the health attitudes and behaviors of other students. They are valuable in identifying risky behaviors, providing opportunities and information for health behavior change, and serve as role models while correcting misinformation and misperceptions among their fellow students. Peer education makes use of peer influence in a positive way!

Our peer educator’s support the goals of Health Promotion by:

  • PROMOTING and ADVOCATING for a campus of health and well-being
  • PROVIDING learning and development opportunities for personal and community health
  • CONNECTING and OPTIMIZING campus and community resources
  • RESEARCHING and ASSESSING student health status and needs
