Wellness Peer Educators

Cleveland State University - OH, Ohio
President: Claire A. Van Ummersen

In 1999, the H.O.P.E. (Helping Others through Peer Education) group was formed in the Wellness Center as a volunteer group of trained students who provide peer education to their fellow students. This group was so successful in teaching wellness issues that they were awarded the Bacchus & Gamma Peer Education Network Area VIII “”Outstanding New Affiliate Award”" for 1999.
