Under the guidance of the Health Educator, the PHEs will undergo training so that they can provide preventative education for the CSUDH student body.

Benefits of Becoming a PHE

Program planning and presentation skills
Increased knowledge about a wide range of health topics
An opportunity to make a difference in the health of CSUDH students
Recognition for volunteerism and service learning
Interaction and collaboration with various campus organizations
Resume enhancement
Improved self-awareness
Networking opportunities
Internship positions (for class credit or volunteer) available throughout the year
