Ways to Get Involved

There are a number of ways students can get involved with the Health Promotion Office. We are always looking for student input in our activities.

Opportunities include enrolling in the Peer Health Advocacy class, joining the UR Student Health Advisory Committee, completing an independent study course with a Health Promotion Office staff member, volunteering on a specific project, and working in the Health Promotion Office.

Peer Health Advocacy Course (HLS 216/217)

Are you interested in learning more about health issues such as sexuality, prevention of STDs/HIV, stress, and alcohol use? Do you want to be able to share health information with your friends without sounding preachy or hypocritical? Then the Peer Health Advocacy Program is for you! See the descriptions for HLS 216/217. For information, contact Melissa Kelley.

UR Student Health Advisory Committee (URSHAC)

This committee, chaired by undergraduate students, offers students the opportunity to have an impact on the health care services offered for students. The committee meets with the Director of the University Health Service every two to three weeks to share ideas, offer suggestions, and discuss topics of concern to students. Contact Linda Dudman, staff advisor, for more information.

Collaboration with the Health Promotion Office

The Health Promotion Office staff members welcome and encourage the involvement of individual students and groups in the planning of projects, programs, and campus-wide health events. If you or your group is interested in collaborating with the Health Promotion Office, contact Linda Dudman or Melissa Kelley.

Independent Study Course

Students who would like to learn more about a specific health topic and/or strategy for reaching students can work with a staff member in the Health Promotion Office. For more information, contact Linda Dudman or Melissa Kelley.
