More than 7,000 students have benefitted from ESS over the years. Our best strategy is a well-trained, knowledgeable, and sensitive staff. We believe that students help students, so we hire and train students to work as tutors and peer counselors. These students have learned how to be successful in college and spend their time helping others learn the ropes. HCPP keeps student members informed of educational opportunities and scholarship within the health professions via newsletters, meetings, panel discussions and luncheons.
