Prevention and Health Promotion
The CWC office of Prevention and Health Promotion empowers students about health topics through knowledge and awareness to support their growing autonomy. Wellness is an active and ongoing process which involves becoming aware of and taking actions towards mastery of our own health.
Prevention and Health promotion provides programming to the campus community around general health topics. These programs can include individual meetings, small events, workshops, and campus-wide initiatives. The topics can include wellness, sexual health, healthy relationships, mental health, physical health, nutrition, and alcohol and other drugs. This office strives to work with New College and our local community to achieve a healthier campus.
Peer Educator Program
This office oversees a peer education program in which students are trained on various health-related topics, as peer educators. Through this, students can gain meaningful experience as volunteers or interns, creating an opportunity to add leadership experience and skills to your resume for graduate school or for professional endeavors.
In these roles, student might: assist with outreach programs such as tabling, workshops, or programs; plan, develop, and promote health and wellness programs and materials; help design marketing materials; create themed giveaways needed for programming; gain experience in evaluating prevention efforts; translate technical information into suitable college-aged materials via fact-sheets, articles, or programs; develop health-based materials for social media posts; help organize and maintain office spaces, equipment, storage areas; assist in grant opportunities when they become available.
