About Us

C.R.E.W.S stands for Creating Respect, Educating Wellness (by and for) Students. 

CREWS is an exceptional peer education team comprised of a diverse group of trained individuals who are passionate about fostering a culture of safety, well-being, and inclusivity among fellow Rams. Our primary objective is to empower students to make informed choices regarding alcohol consumption, sexual health, and cannabis.

Our team members undergo comprehensive training to ensure that they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to engage with individuals from various backgrounds.

At CREWS, we firmly believe in the power of interactive and enjoyable programs. We design highly engaging activities that cater to the interests of different campus groups, classes, and even the spirited atmosphere of football games. Through these interactive sessions, we aim to educate and creating memorable experiences that resonate with our audience.

We warmly welcome individuals from all walks of life to join our team, regardless of their prior experience. We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure that every member is equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to make a positive impact on our campus community.
