Starria Cheatham, Tom McClure, Veronica Clay and Davida Walker of the Peer-Educators Program. The program, which began two years ago and is directed by Jenny Fertig, organized several events on campus this semester, including an ice-skating venture at the Charleston Skating Rink and a spades tournament for residence hall students. On Saturday, Feb. 13, Peer Educators held its Valentine's Day roller skating trip to Teay's Valley which was free of charge to all WVSC students. Cheatham said the program was an inspiring and joyful experience for her. Here we are working a lot more with the students.
Cox estimates current membership at ten and growing.
The most important thing for someone who wants to be a part of this is that they are willing to volunteer their time and efforts. Peer Educators sponsored the Alcohol Awareness Week, which provided creative activities centered around the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse. The next big event for the educators will be a trip to King's Island on Saturday, April 17. Fifty students may attend based on attendance at various Peer Educators activities.
