EagleWell Peer Educators
EagleWell Peer Educators have a positive impact on members of the Ashland University community by promoting a healthy lifestyle in the seven dimensions of wellness (Emotional, Environmental, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social, Spiritual). They reach out to the campus community through presentations, bulletin boards, informational tables, and planned events. The Peer Educators are nationally certified as effective listeners, being ready and willing to help, and being active changemakers through NASPA. This training reviews basic concepts in peer education and provides the members with the tools necessary to become an effective peer educator.
