ABOUT PEER EDUCATION AT OBERLIN COLLEGE

There are many student organizations at Oberlin College that function with a mission of educating peers. Students are often the best teachers when it comes to public health education and life skills education. In our office, as time and resources allow, we support students who want to create health education efforts mirroring this belief. Sometimes we have paid positions, sometimes we sponsor private readings, and sometimes we collaborate as part of a bigger effort. Ultimately, students learn best from other students and we want to encourage students to follow their instincts and provide information in a manner that is uniquely “Oberlin”.
