The Center for Latino Arts and Culture (CLAC) is a student-centered, inclusive community where students can better integrate experiential, academic and service learning about Latinx/a/o arts and culture in order to become strong leaders and responsible global citizens. The Center works to create a welcoming, supportive environment that values intersectionality and social justice. We advocate for the wellbeing of our students and work to create effective access to University services and resources. Through dynamic collaboration with other academic and student affairs units, the CLAC will work to enhance Latino student recruitment, retention, and successful graduation at Rutgers University.

Peer education builds on the idea that students learn best from their peers, especially about difficult or uncomfortable topics. Peer educators are trained by the Health Outreach, Promotion & Education (HOPE) professional staff to engage their peers in relevant and relatable discussions on issues of health and wellness. Peer educators are trained in specific topic areas such as mental health, sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, and nutrition. Each program has its own requirements, application, and training process. Visit each website to learn more about the unit.

If you have questions regarding any of the peer education programs, please contact HOPE at 848-932-1965.
