EDUC 350 - Concepts in Collaborative Peer Health Advocacy

Spring (3) Staff Prereq/Corequisite(s): For those students wishing to collaborate with other individuals, organizations, and offices as they improve the health of this campus across all eight dimensions of wellness, the instructors intend to augment the facts behind, the behaviors around, and the commitment to promoting community wellness, all while offering multiple opportunities to apply those skill sets to current collegiate health issues through creativity, polyculturalism, and social justice.

This course also trains pre-selected students to be potential members of the student arm of the Office of Health Promotion (OHP), a division of Student Affairs here at the College. Though other peer health organizations at the College may have membership guidelines in addition to passing this class, learners who intend to work with the OHP as peer health advocates must earn a cumulative score of 80% or higher as one of several criteria to receive a final offer of membership from the staff.
