Vision of Peer Education
In pursuing academic excellence, CCDU believes that co-curricular activities including psycho-education, social justice, building healthy student communities and citizenship are important in enabling the development of a more holistic and complete graduate. It is for this reason that opportunities are created for students to sign-up, train and engage as Peer Educators.
