PEER LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION

3 Credits

An interdisciplinary independent study designed to enhance the scope of learning around UHC peer education topics and train students to serve as leaders for those enrolled in first year peer courses, PEER31X and PEER32X. Second year peers are trained to facilitate intersectional and advanced health education dialogue, as well as serve in leadership roles for the course in which they were previously enrolled, PEER31X and PEER32X. Additionally, Peer Leader responsibilities include creating and implementing campus wide events to promote learning around the intersections between UHC peer education group topics (power-based violence, sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, stress and mental health). Peer Leaders will have different responsibilities based on the programmatic needs and goals of the semester.
