Peer2Peer

Peer2Peer (P2P) Program Overview

What Is Peer2Peer?

Peer2Peer is an amazing way for students from all areas of campus to make new friends and share the SU experience.

The Two Sides of the Peer2Peer Program

Peer2Peer relies on two distinct groups of students. It’s easy to mix them up, so here’s a clear breakdown:

Supported Group Activities

• A Peer Trainer is a leadership role within Peer2Peer
• Peer Trainers run weekly Interest Groups (movie nights, fitness sessions, Esports, pet therapy, arts & crafts, etc.)
• They attend P2P events to support the group and serve as a point of contact if anyone needs help

1:1 Partnerships

• A Peer Partner is matched with an InclusiveU student
• Peer Partners meet weekly for 1–2 hours, based on shared interests and schedules (grabbing coffee, working out, attending events, and simply hanging out)
• Peer Partners generally fall into two groups:

• • SPE 111 students – taking “Disability in School and Community,” using P2P as their required field placement (minimum 20 hours/semester)
  • Volunteer students – participating simply because they want to be involved and have new experiences.

Why Get Involved?

For everyone involved, P2P is a chance to:

• Attend campus activities with your SU community
• Join new clubs
• Meet students outside your usual circles
• Practice and build social confidence
• Have fun and walk away with a real friendship

Attending P2P Events

• A weekly email goes out with that week’s and weekend’s event schedule
• Events are open to the Syracuse University community
• RSVP using the link in the weekly email
• Add events to your calendar/planner, and grab any required tickets ahead of time

Popular event types: Cuse Activities & late-night events, sports games, InclusiveU holiday parties, game nights, day trips, and weekly interest groups.
