At the STOP Violence Program and the University of Wyoming, we believe that students can have a positive impact on their peers. Therefore, we subscribe to a peer education philosophy in dealing with issues of sexual and relationship violence on campus.
Our Cowboy Up Peer Educators create programs on these topics that are fun and interactive, which creates an enjoyable environment for students to learn about difficult topics. Most of what our peer educators do is through interactive skit performances, presentations, and hands-on workshops.
Cowboy Up is a University of Wyoming Recognized Student Organizations (RSO). Many UW students take the opportunity to get involved in some sort of extracurricular program or activity. Make your time at UW count by becoming a Cowboy Up Peer Educator!
All of our Peer Educators participate in a formal training that will give you the tools necessary to discuss topics related to sexual and relationship violence and issues concerning alcohol on campus. After you complete the training, you will join a dynamic group of peer educators conducting presentations and workshops all across campus. Trainings are held once per semester.
Contact Lena Newlin with the AWARE program or Megan Selheim with the STOP Violence program to sign up for our next peer educator training!
