The Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) Peer Fellow program was established in 2010 as part of the Office of Student Affairs Students Helping Students Achievement Fellowship (OSA Fellowship).
The goals of this fellow program include promoting the retention and graduation of UH Manoa students. The Peer Fellow Program's aim is to serve a range of UH Manoa students who are challenged by academic and personal barriers.
Peer Fellows engage in a variety of activities such planning and hosting student outreach events, hosting workshops, giving presentations, etc. At outreach events or workshop sessions, Peer Fellows present wellness-related information or advice that students can use in their daily lives.
"Being a Peer Fellow has been an incredibly rewarding opportunity for me. I was able to gain perspective about the mental health field from the CSDC interns and staff. They helped me to decide which route I wanted to take to become a mental health care professional in the future." -Quinn, PF 2023-2025
