Peer Guide applications are live and due by Friday, March 23 at 5:00 p.m. To view and/or complete the application, please click here!

Peer Guides are Vanderbilt undergraduate students who have received training in wellbeing. The Peer Guide Program provides undergraduate students a space to seek peer support and guidance in one or more of the following areas:  emotional wellbeing, life transitions, personal health, self-efficacy, social support and relationship-building, and stress management.

Benefits to Serving as a Peer Guide:

  • Gain knowledge and skills that support students during times of personal growth and/or challenge.
  • Bolster your resume by highlighting coaching abilities and overall paraprofessional experience.
  • Increase your knowledge of pertinent wellbeing practices and strategies.
  • Enhance leadership, inter/intrapersonal communication, and Motivational Interviewing skills.

Please forward this information to students who may be interested in applying. If you know of anyone who is interested in meeting with a Peer Guide for individual coaching, please call the Center for Student Wellbeing at 615-322-0480 or drop into the Center to schedule an appointment. Should you have additional questions, please contact Jason E. Steinas at Jason.e.steinas@vanderbilt.edu. For more information, visit https://www.vanderbilt.edu//healthydores/peerguides/

The Center for Student Wellbeing, Office for Inclusive Excellence, Martha Rivers Ingram Commons and VU Athletics present An Evening with Kate Fagan: The Pressure to be Perfect.

Touched by the suicide of 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania track star Maddy Holleran in 2014, Fagan wrote What Made Maddy Run. The novel, which explores Maddy’s story as well as Fagan’s personal experiences as a former college athlete, offers commentary on mental health in universities, the pressure of perfectionistic thinking, and social media’s ability to skew reality.

Free books to the first 200 attendees!
