Program participants will examine their current personal and life circumstances, including the impact of their illness and its implications, establish personal recovery and rehabilitation goals for the future roles they wish to play in the world, and through instruction, resource development and individualized counseling, be helped to achieve these goals. The Wellness Center is currently accepting applications for Summer PEN Players.
Players are students who do health education and promotion through interactive theater.
The PEN Players work under the auspices of the BU Wellness Center, where they receive health education training and support. Summer PEN is a smaller group of PEN Players who train and provide health education to the BU community. They perform for summer orientation sessions and resident assistant training. Summer PEN Players are compensated in the form of on-campus housing provided to them for the summer by the Orientation Office. It requires approximately 15-20 hours of work per week, beginning May 25th through the end of August.
