Peer Educator Program

Created in 1997 as an experiment in enhancing student learning, the Peer Educator Program is designed to facilitate and enrich the learning supported by undergraduate instruction at Santa Clara University. Peer educators are students who help a faculty member with the administration of a class and other activities that promote an effective learning environment. More specifically, the Peer Educator Program aims to:

• enhance and enrich the learning experiences of peer educators through close collaboration with a faculty member.
• enhance and enrich learning in undergraduate courses especially lower-division University and school core courses.
• support faculty initiatives to develop and implement pedagogies that further other goals of the program and of the University.
