It is must reading for any students involved in learning their roles as peer educators."--Charles C. Schroeder, vice chancellor for student affairs, University of Missouri-Columbia

"It's about time higher education devoted more attention to developing the single most powerful group on campus: peers! From residence halls to health centers, this book offers useful skills and applications for peers helping peers. Special kudos for helping peer educators learn about intercultural competence and ethical practices."--Susan R. Komives, associate professor of College Student Personnel, University of Maryland, and former president, American College Personnel Association
