The 15 chapters in Peer Programs on the College Campus cover the many ways to incorporate peer helping programs on the college campus. These programs already exist at the University of Michigan; the authors discuss how the programs were initiated, what adjustments were necessary and how students benefit from being involved in them. In the “voice of the peers, ” students share stories of success, disappointment, hard work — and invaluable experience. Editor Sherry L. Hatcher, Ph.D., explains the differences between peer helping on the college campus and peer helping on the high-school campus. She presents the 12-week curriculum she designed and teaches at the University of Michigan as a model for creating a custom-level course.
