Byrned to a Crisp

I miss the golden days of New York sports.

Training the Leaders of Tomorrow

Through a collaboration between four services offered by the Office of Student Affairs, a new course next semester will be available to students interested in receiving proper training for educating and mentoring their peers.According Edward Brodka, assistant director of the Leadership Development Center, UBE 499 - Introduction to Peer Education - is a two-credit course dedicated to training students in communication and teambuilding skills, as well as program preparation and delivery.Brodka and Justine Barry, a wellness education specialist, said Introduction to Peer Education was developed out of a desire to integrate the resources of Wellness Education Services, the Leadership Development Center, Career Services and Multicultural Affairs, all of which currently offer separate peer education programs.Instructors from each of the four service categories will teach the course."We realized there was a good opportunity for us to collaborate and teach this class together so there wasn't so much overlap where we were each teaching the basic skills," Barry said.
