Services

BACCHUS Peer Educators provide educational and preventive college health programs and campus-wide events oftentimes in collaboration with other departments and/or student organizations. The peer educators collaborate in developing, implementing, and evaluating educational programs to encourage students to develop decision-making skills and promote health and safety. These events raise social and behavioral awareness to address student and campus concerns.

The 2004 NCAA CHOICES Grant and RGK Foundation Grant for Peer Education fund the BACCHUS Peer Education Group as part of the college-health initiative called The Hilltopper Advantage: Safe and Healthy Choices.
