Requirements for Application and Acceptance

Students interested in becoming a Changing Carolina Peer Leader apply to the program during the fall semester and complete a 3-credit hour course during the spring semester to receive training as a USC Peer Leader. During the course, students develop presentation skills, participate in on-campus events, receive generalized training in an array of health and wellness topics, and gain in-depth knowledge in individual areas of interest. Following successful completion of the course, students are able to facilitate interactive, educational presentations to student groups while planning, promoting, and delivering campus-wide programs, events and initiatives.

We look forward to receiving your application or inquiry. If you would like to learn more about nutrition, exercise, sexual health, mental health, interpersonal violence and other college-health issues, would like to be part of an effort to raise awareness of these issues on campus, and have the interest and the time to devote to being a Peer Leader, we welcome your contribution to the program and encourage you to apply.

The Peer Health Education program is currently accepting applications. Application Deadline is Friday, October 14, 2011
