MedLinks (for undergraduates)

A residentially based peer advocacy program. Trained student representatives called MedLinks live among other students and offer private, accessible, one-on-one peer support and referrals for a range of student concerns, including nutrition and fitness, food and body-image issues, sexual health, sexual and relationship violence, substance use and abuse, mental health, stress and sleep issues, and physical ailments. Many MedLinks have also completed CPR training, which allows them to respond to incidents of chest pain, choking, breathing difficulties, and other emergencies.
