Peer Advocates, who attend a 10-day intensive training program with resident advisors at the start of each semester, are proactive in all that they do. They're the ones with all the ideas. The peer advocates are required to work 15-20 hours a week on the program and usually invest much more of their time. They hold office hours to talk with students on topics that reach beyond substance abuse. Students also design resident hall surveys so that they can gauge the perception of alcohol among their cohabitants.
Some advocates go over and beyond their call of duty.
The card also provides blood alcohol levels for up to 8 drinks based on height and weight. Each card is personalized for each peer advocate and distributed campus wide. If you have questions or comments about our program, please e-mail us.
