The Peer Education Program has evolved into a program that offers an experiential opportunity to enhance skills as a presenter, educator, and peer advocate. The Peer Educators work as part of the Counseling Center's Wellness Initiative, specifically targeting the Passport Program at North C (located in old Niemeyer bldg). The Passport Program provides a living center for students who choose a wellness based lifestyle. The Peer Educators develop and present programs that support and encourage students to make healthy choices.
