The DEEP Impact program is dedicated to facilitating peer-to-peer educational programs for students in a variety of contexts across campus. If you would like to request an experience like this for your student group, please scroll to the bottom of this page and fill out the Outreach Request Form. We will assign two DEEP Impact Educators to attend your student organization general body meeting; student training or staff meeting; or class to facilitate a presentation of your choice. Please allow approximately 3 weeks from the requested date for our team to assign educators, ask questions about the request if needed, and specify the outreach presentation content to your group.
If you have additional questions, email deepimpact@jmu.edu.
DEEP Impact Outreach - In Context
The DEEP Impact Educators are trained to facilitate peer-to-peer education and dialogue in a variety of contexts outside the classroom. Our educators are incredibly knowledgeable about a vast array of topics related to belonging as it pertains to the undergraduate experience and our global community. DEEP Impact outreach presentations (60 - 75 minutes) may serve as a meaningful supplement to your next student employee training, student workshop, or event.
