Peer Health Advocates
Providing Students with Healthy Lifestyle Choices


Our Mission

As peer health advocates, we are dedicated to providing our peers with education on healthy lifestyle choices. Our goal is to build a foundation which promotes lifelong health awareness and informed decision making skills. Through the use of theater, tabling, lecturing, and general student involvement, we intend to reach our diverse peer population here at William Paterson University.
