The SWELL Peer Education program is designed to open dialogue
among students about personal wellness. Wellness pertains to
all of the choices we make that effect our personal
well-being. This includes how much sleep we get, what we eat,
how we exercise, how we handle our stress levels, or if we choose
to use or not use particular substances.
The goal of the SWELL Peer Education program is to provide the
tools necessary for students to make informed decisions about their
own wellness.
SWELL Peer Educators are energetic, passionate, fun students
here to spread information to fellow students through special
events and wellness workshops. Their workshops are
interactive, informative, inspirational, and even a little
silly! Peer Educators are trained to facilitate workshops for
classes, student organizations, and residents and are up to date on
all of the latest research and information on topics including
alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, body image, nutrition, exercise,
healthy relationships, and over-the-counter drugs.
