Peer Education
www.nyu.edu/peer.ed
Peer educators (PEs) are students who are trained to provide educational programs and outreach in areas that are particularly important to NYU students. They personalize the campus environment by providing important services, programs, information, and resources that empower students to have a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships. Peer educators develop trustful, nonjudgmental connections with students in order to support them in reducing risk in their behavioral choices. Peer educators help to measure the mood and tone of NYU students and identify themes to inform outreach and education efforts.
There are two types of peer educators: peer educators in residence (PEIRs) and peer educators at large (PEALs). Students eligible for the peer educator position are full-time students of at least sophomore standing.

Student Senators Council
The Student Senators Council (SSC) is the student component of the University Senate, consisting of 22 members: fifteen of these are elected by the students of the various schools and colleges of the University and seven are appointed by the Executive Committee of the Senate, with the advice and consent of the elected student senators, to serve as student senators-at-large. The SSC may consider any matter in which the interests, rights, or responsibilities of students are involved, and it takes special responsibility for bringing to the attention of the Senate all matters concerning students’ extracurricular life at the University.

Student Councils
Each of the various schools and colleges has its own student council organized by the students in that school or college. The school student councils act as the representatives of students to the faculty and administration within their respective schools and colleges. Each school’s student council provides a range of services and activities, both academic and extracurricular, aimed at fostering the development of its own student body. Additionally, many councils are authorized to fund student organizations whose membership is exclusively from their school or college of the University.
