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 Nancy Reynolds.

URSHAC (UR Student Health Advisory Committee)

This committee offers the opportunity for students to have an impact on the health care services offered for students. URSHAC is a great way to get experience in health care management. New members are always welcome. The committee meets every two to three weeks throughout the academic year.

Examples of URSHAC activities/discussions:

• Share your ideas directly with the Director of UHS.
• Offer student perspective to UHS & UCC on changes being considered.
• Bring issues & concerns from peers to attention of UHS & UCC.
• Gain experience in health care administration.

Contact Stef Trop or Carrie Bukowski, Student Co-Chairs, or Linda Dudman, staff advisor, for more information.

Independent Study Courses, Volunteering, & Working

The staff members in the Health Promotion Office are interested in advising students who are interested in developing a 2 credit or 4 credit independent study course on specific health topic. This option is limited to one to three students, based on the availability of staff members. Opportunities to volunteer on a specific project or for a period of time are also available. Each year, students are hired to work as student program assistants and social host trainers. For more information about these options to become involved in the Health Promotion Office, contact Linda Dudman.

Social Host Training

The UHS Health Promotion Office offers training for students who want to become social hosts. This training is provided by students who work with the UHS Health Promotion Office. For information about scheduling a training session for your group, contact Joyce Bulsiewicz..
