Who are we? What do we do?

The BURG Peer Education Network is a group of dedicated students who aim to educate and empower our FSU peers and community. The organization was founded in 1987, and the 2026-2027 academic year marks the 39th year of Peer Education on the Frostburg State University campus. We believe in creating change among our peers and our community. We promote healthy choices on campus and provide recreational alternatives to drinking and drugging. We are a Nationally Certified Peer Education group through the NASPA-BACCHUS Network and serve as Peer Educators by presenting several educational programs and awareness campaigns on-campus each year.

We have received local, regional, and national recognition and awards for our programs, awareness campaigns, as well as our contributions to peer education as affiliates to the NASPA-BACCHUS Network™.

In our organization, there are numerous opportunities for you. You will gain leadership experience. Gain presentation and communication skills through brainstorming and implementing educational programs. Our Peer Educators serve our community through volunteerism and community outreach programs. Not to mention being a part of the largest student based organization at the collegiate level with over 35,000 Peer Health Educators across the country.

Along with educating students on-campus through educational programs and awareness campaigns, we also bring speakers to campus, and facilitate workshops, both here at Frostburg and within our region.

We also put on fun social events, both on campus and for students in our organization.

These are only a few aspects of our organization; there is so much more! For information on joining our organization, contact the SAFE Office or check out our Recruitment video.
