Now What?Feedback Hopes/Dreams Key Partners Challenges
● I want to stay involved● I want to make a
program● Why didn’t you tell me it
would be so hard to create a program?
● Why didn’t people come to our programs?
● I want to work more with the other peer groups!
● This is a lot more than I signed up for!
● I wish I had found this program earlier
● This program was so important to my college experience
● I want to go into health education now!
● More credits/structure● Increased visibility● Increased accountability● Academic affairs● Ability to sustain a growing
campus mandate● Engaging with younger
students● Put students in the drivers’
seats of program development (not us)
