What does an Upstander do?
Upstanders have two main jobs on campus.
- They help solve conflicts between peers, they are the peer mediation group on campus.
- They work to improve the overall culture on campus.
How do you get help from an Upstander?
Students who have a conflict with a peer are encouraged to self-refer to a peer mediation. All they need to do is fill out an Upstanders Peer Mediation Request form in the office.
