What is the CCW Student Advisory Board?
The CCW Student Advisory Board meets weekly to provide student insight and leadership related to mental health at Calvin University. In addition to sharing observations and suggestions with the Director of the Center for Counseling and Wellness (CCW), board members also participate in student-led working groups that carry out peer mental health education, events, and support on Calvin's campus.
The CCW Student Advisory Board is comprised of approximately 12 current Calvin students each year and has been in existence since 2017. Examples of working group projects to-date include tabling, marketing, presentations, stigma reduction, peer listening, social media, and wellness activities.
What is expected?
Board members commit to the following:
- Attend all board meetings (twice-monthly, director-led) to share perspectives on student mental health at Calvin
- Attend all working group meetings (twice-monthly, student-led) to plan mental health initiatives on campus
- Actively participate in the planning, marketing, and execution of 3 mental health initiatives for Calvin University over the course of the academic year
How do I apply?
