Bucknell University has created a sexual misconduct prevention peer education program entitled Speak UP Bucknell, which presents workshops adapted with permission from the University of New Hampshire Prevention Innovations Bringing in the Bystander™ program.

Speak UP Bucknell emphasizes a bystander intervention approach and assumes that everyone has a role to play in ending sexual misconduct on campus. Becoming a peer educator provides a unique opportunity for members of the Bucknell community to take on a leadership role in educating themselves and their fellow Bucknell students about important issues facing our community.

Become a Peer Educator and help make a difference.

Any Bucknell student who is interested in being involved in changing the campus climate and ending sexual assault, dating violence and stalking is welcome to apply. It will be expected that any individual involved as a peer educator also models that commitment in their personal relationships.

Apply in the spring.

Please complete the application and email it to SpeakUP@bucknell.edu to schedule an interview. Training will take place in April and August.

› The application deadline for 2013-2014 was Monday, April 1, 2013.
