Leadership Opportunities

• Peer Educators receive training in health education to help their peers make healthy and safe choices. Peer Eds serve as a resource for others and even develop informative and interactive workshops.

• The training for Peer Mediators is quite intensive and happens before school begins. In this role, students work to resolve interpersonal conflicts between their peers or even between students and faculty. The philosophy of the program is to be “multipartial,” meaning they work for the interests of all parties involved. NMH’s peer mediation is the only boarding school program with a social-justice component.

• As a junior or senior, students can be chosen as Resident Advisors and help organize social and athletic events, help with administrative tasks, and monitor study hall.
   
• The mission of Student Congress is to improve academic and residential life at school by integrating student perspectives into the administrative process. Student Congress is elected by house and class, and day student representatives are elected at a day student meeting. The 2011 members of Student Congress are:

Chair of Assembly: Tucker Kavanaugh ’12           
Chair of Records: Gabriella Lee ’12            
Chair of Student Life: James Yu ’12            

• Student Leader is considered the highest honor that an upperclassman can receive, and with it comes great responsibility. As role models for students in the dorm and members of the house staff, SLs help organize student life activities and serve as a link to other faculty, staff, and students.They are expected to live up to community standards at all times and address students who don’t.
