"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

The Peer Education Team (PET), a collaborative group of peer educators working together to address college health issues such as Alcohol and other Drugs, STD's, Stress, HIV/AIDS, Body Image, Nutrition, Fitness and Contraception. These volunteer students participate in educational trainings, weekly meetings, campus wide activities, and on-going health promotion events.
