Student Groups
At Lehigh University, we firmly believe in students educating their peers. That is why we have started the Work Study programs and the Wellness Peer education programs. Peer educators are trained to go into classrooms, residence halls, sororities and fraternities to speak about various health topics. The programs they present are about 45-60 minutes in duration. They are very interactive and fun with many prize giveaways. If you are interested in joining any of our Student Groups or scheduling a peer educator group, please feel free to contact the Director of Health Promotions, Rajika Reed at 610-758-3875 or rer205@lehigh.edu.
