Butler Center
The Ben Ruddock Peer Education Program
The Ben Ruddock Peer Education program will develop and facilitate workshops for CC student consumption that center the following overarching tenets of Colorado College:
- Antiracism
- Diversity
- Equity
- Inclusion
Because the Butler Center is a student-facing department on campus, Peer Education workshops center the CC student experience. Student groups/clubs/organizations can reach out to the Peer Education program via a specialized email account. They can then request a workshop that is specially tailored to their needs.
