Unfortunately right now we are not accepting applications. We will open up the application process again in the Fall but look for an information session in April about joining HOPE!

If you’re interested in joining HOPE or learning more about HOPE, fill out this form and we will send you updates about information sessions and the application process

Are you interested in providing relevant health information to your peers? Do you enjoy promoting healthy decision making? Are you willing to be a role model for your peers? Do you care about the general well being of our college community?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you should consider joining HOPE! We are a growing student organization that hopes to reach as many students as possible with reliable and relevant health information. Another goal is to make our outreach programs as fun and accessible as possible. As a member you will get to know and work with a dedicated group that has a passion for keeping our college community healthy and happy. You will get the opportunity to use your creativity in making new programs and planning events. Get to know us a bit more.

The Application Process

Membership is extended to individuals selected through a process which includes an online written application, an interview, and the successful completion of the 3-credit course EDUC 350: Peer Health Education. You may begin your online application here. After we review your written application, you will be notified via email if you received an interview. After interviewing, we will notify students selected to join HOPE  before Spring registration begins and grant them permission to enroll in EDUC 350.

Commitment

Before enrolling in the Peer Education course, members are asked to commit to two semesters of active participation in HOPE. Active Members are expected to attend weekly meetings, present outreach programs, present Extended Orientation programs to incoming students, and participate in the planning and implementation of campus awareness events. Once in the organization, students are expected to complete seven to eight hours of HOPE-related work throughout each semester.
