Peer-to Peer communication

I attended a very useful session today on the Topic of Minute Clinincs, presented by staff from NC State CALS career services. Great ideas at work here! One of the ideas that seemed to work very well that I might like to try is to use student peers in our career education. Of course there's a lot of training needed to utilize students as representatives of the Career Services office, but as shown in this presentation, when done well, peers are great tools to get messages accross to their fellow students. It's an effective tool to get our message out to students, but also, what a great learning/ leadership tool for the students working for career services. We're teaching them along the way too.

If you go to the NACE website to download their presentation, you'll get some great visuals of what they've done. They've shared some great ideas!
