- 我第一次去十大博彩推荐排名的时候, 我偷看了一下中途停留中心的健康促进中心的窗户. 我想知道那间小屋是怎么回事, and I’m so, 很高兴我能满足他的好奇心! Becoming a Peer Health Advocate and then a Health Promotion Assistant paved the way to new friendships, 公开演讲练习和对健康宣传更感兴趣. 我真的很喜欢和同事一起工作，帮助同事. 我希望我的下一次冒险也能有同样的收获. – Kathleen Gaffney
- Health Promotion was the single best thing to happen during my college career… It was the one place on campus I always wanted to stop in and be. The information and skills I learned at Health Promotion I will use for the rest of my life. It will be a huge change not coming to the Drop In Center after I graduate but the memories and friends I have made there will always stay with me. – Stephanie Barone
- I would just like to say how grateful I am for the experience I gained working at Health Promotion. 我学到了很多关于营销方面的活动策划, organizing, 与校园伙伴联系，为活动提供赞助/合作伙伴. 我在惠普和惠普的每一个人都度过了一段美好的时光. – Rafia Siddiq
- 当我递交申请的时候, 我真的不知道接待中心是什么, and I didn’t really get a good idea of it until halfway through my interview. Yet somehow becoming a Peer Health Advocate was one of my favorite experiences at Montclair State – and my affection for it is still growing! 作为同伴健康倡导者, I have found myself pushing carts of huge mirrors through the Student Center during the Mirror Project (and accidentally breaking some of those mirrors), collecting pine cones outside of Schmidt Hall for a holiday craft workshop, 在我们的身体接受周时装秀上指导模特. I think it’s safe to say being a Peer Health Advocate is a one of a kind experience! The Drop-In Center serves as an excellent platform for students who are interested in health-related issues to explore their passions in a safe, friendly, and creative environment (and the same goes for students who are passionate about making buttons!). 我花了几乎一整年的时间来开发一个皮肤护理车间, and when the day finally came to implement it was way more rewarding than any last day of final exams could ever be! The Peer Health Advocate experience is what you make of it – whether you master the art of operating moody office equipment, 示范使用避孕套, or hanging bathroom posters with one hand –big things can come from small cottages! – Frankie R.
- 做一个通勤研究生，上夜校, 我没想过自己会参与校园活动. That was until I saw the application to be a Graduate Assistant for Health Promotion and saw an opportunity to not only gain experience in the field of health education/public health but also saw it as an opportunity to get to know the university. It was truly great being able to interact with students and the campus community. In addition, I built some great friendships during my time at Health Promotion that have lasted outside the walls of the Drop-In Center. 我也会说我的公共演讲技巧确实提高了. 一旦你对一群大学生谈论安全性行为, you realize you can comfortably talk about anything in front of groups of people! – Allisyn V.
- I applied to be a Peer Health Advocate the summer before my freshman year hoping that if I got in I would make friends, 教人们如何健康生活. Luckily for me I got the chance to be a Peer Health Advocate and make those two hopes come true! Being a Peer Health Advocate has also given me many different opportunities to be a part of projects and events that I’m interested in, 策划我自己成功的宠物治疗活动, “毛茸茸的朋友为决赛”! I’ve loved every hour I’ve spent with the Health Promotion crew and I can’t wait to spend many more in the little cottage on campus. – Cassidy C.
