Well-Being Peer Educators

Well-Being Peer Educators create a thriving campus community by educating themselves and others about alcohol and substance use, bystander intervention, healthy relationships, interpersonal violence and/or discrimination, and emotional, mental and sexual health. Peer Educators gain national certification and key professional skills that help them make a difference in the lives of fellow Tigers.
