Meet Our Peer Mental Health Educators
Saimir Thano, Ph.D.
Peer Mental Health Educator Program Coordinator
Peer Mental Health Educators are undergraduate students who bring a wide range of cultural backgrounds, academic interests, and life experiences to the program. Although many participants are interested in counseling, mental health, or related professions, students from all majors and career paths are encouraged to apply. Former Peer Educators and Associate Coordinators have pursued graduate study and careers in fields including mental health, economics, law, and veterinary medicine.
Successful applicants demonstrate a genuine commitment to learning, personal growth, collaboration, and meaningful service to the UCI student community. Students accepted during the spring quarter participate in the program throughout the following academic year.
