Health Promotion Department

What is the Health Promotion Department?

The Health Promotions Department consists of one coordinator, a few Graduate Assistants, a great Student Staff and a number of volunteer R.E.A.C.H. Peer Educators who educate S.C.S.U. students on a variety of health concerns and also increase the awareness of particular health issues of interest to college age students.

Services

Services provided by Health Promotion Department include prevention and awareness activities (booths, programs/presentations, flyers/posters, etc.). These programs consist of activities designed for education and skill development. If you are interested in having a Health Promotion program for your class, residence hall, fraternity/sorority or other campus organization please call 308-4850 to schedule a program or contact us via email at: hlthpro@sctcloudstate.edu .

We are a recognized Student Organization at SCSU and are also affiliated with the National and Regional Bacchus Gamma Peer Educator Network. Our Peer Educators will also have the opportunity to become Certified Bacchus Peer Educators through a training, which is administrated during spring semester each year. There is also a Spring Regional Conference that we attend and usually present at.
