Peer Ed Conference at OSU
By OSU Peer Educators, for OSU Peer Educators
In Fall 2024 we will have the second Peer Ed Conference at OSU! Peer educators are students who help other students, supporting fellow students’ learning and thinking. Student employees across many different areas of campus are in fact serving as peer educators! By participating in the Peer Ed Conference, you will have a unique opportunity to join a community of your peers while adding something exceptional to your resume.

Call for Presenters
Interested in not only attending the Peer Ed Conference but also presenting? We are looking for workshop developers, presenters, collaborators, and brainstormers! You don't have to have a finished product ready to join the conference as a presenter, and we have lots of guidance available to help you develop and fine-tune your presentations! Conference sessions should be around 40 minutes in length. Check out the sections below for guidance on our conference focus areas, submission and development timelines, and how to get in touch with our support team.
Conference Focus Areas
Our student leadership team worked hard to bring together the thoughts and ideas about what topics might be most useful and interesting to peer educators attending the conference, and these seven topics garnered the most support and interest from a subgroup of attendees. If you are developing an idea that fits within one of these topics, rest assured that your peers are already excited to learn about this from and with you!
Well Being
Group Facilitation
- Boundaries
- Tools for stress response
Accessibility
Working Across Differences
Student Learning & Success

Preparation Steps for presenters
You’ll receive as much support as you need to create a learning activity that will help your fellow peer educators in their roles. The first step to joining the list of awesome presenters is to get in touch with Woodrós Wolford ([email protected]).
