HLTH 366 Students Complete CPE Training

Congratulations are in order for 21 of our Health Science Students. Thanks to funding from Partners in Prevention, the state of Missouri’s higher education substance misuse association, HLTH 366 students received Certified Peer Education training. All students in the class successfully completed 12 hours of CPE training offered by NASPA-Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, and passed their certification exams with flying colors. Student Haley Bylina said of the training, “I  have learned how Peer Educators can function as an advocate, liaison, and resource for students.” This training included learning how to effectively lead, communicate, develop effective health programs, and how to be inclusive in diverse community settings. Student Breanne Martin stated “I feel that by having these skills, I can work on being the best peer educator I can be.” Way to go to everyone involved, and congratulations to all of our newly Certified Peer Educators!
