SWAVE Peer Educators

The Student Wellbeing and Anti-Violence Education Group (SWAVE) provides student-driven engagement opportunities to support Xavier students’ personal wellbeing and success. SWAVE focuses on issues related to comprehensive student wellbeing including emotional and physical health, reproductive and sexual health, alcohol use and abuse, and bystander intervention. Through awareness-raising initiatives and programming, SWAVE also addresses broader issues such as personal decision-making, harm-reduction strategies, and communication skills. SWAVE provides current information, education, and resources on critical issues; creates dialogue among peers that will positively impact attitudes and behavior; and engages students in meaningful opportunities to create a healthy campus community in which all students can achieve their personal and academic goals.
