The Peer Support Coordinator will assist in the development of this program as well as serve as the point person for training and supporting Student Leaders engaged in providing peer support. The goals of this program are to increase belonging and connection between students, provide support in ways that students feel are helpful in spaces they feel comfortable, and positively impact the personal well-being of both Student Leaders and participants.The Peer Support Coordinator position is a 12-month full-time position with dual reporting lines and support from the Executive Director of Counseling & Psychological Services and the Director of Mental Health Promotion of Counseling & Psychological Services.

In addition, this position provides consultation to OSU community members, preventative and educational outreach initiatives, and training of pre-doctoral interns.

Oregon State University's ( OSU ) Counseling & Psychological Services ( CAPS ) is strongly committed to affirming diversity in a broad sense, to treating all with dignity and respect, and to opposing discrimination, prejudice, and oppression. Because OSU is a predominantly white institution ( PWI ), it is especially critical that we understand the experiences and needs of non-dominant students and staff, and that we provide support that is specifically designed to meet those needs. We recognize that, like most PWIs, our ways of supporting students and staff from non-dominant groups have been inadequate, and we have begun to work on doing better. This includes continually looking for ways to make our services more culturally responsive, including our hiring practices. We consider cultural humility to be an essential qualification for any CAPS position, and look for candidates who share this value with us. We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer, and strongly encourage applications from members of historically underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, women, individuals with disabilities, veterans, LGBTQ+ community members, and others who demonstrate the ability to help us achieve our vision of a diverse and inclusive community.
