Number of Credit Hours: 3

Responsibilities (projects completed, tasks assigned, etc.):
I sat in on weekly meetings, gave input, helped organize the conference. Contacted people to help and present. I'll also be presenting at the conference.

Development and implementation of a Peer Education organization on campus.
I decided to add this on to the practicum because I will be presenting at the conference about the Realities of Sexual Assault. Heidelberg did not have any awareness or educational organizations regarding sexual assault, so I started one. We became a recognized organization, meet bi-weekly and peer educators will be trained in April.

In the future, this group will need help with training, advisors, and presenters. They will also need places to give presentations.
