SOME CURRENT PEPPERS:
|
 |
Beatriz, Age 20, Education & Spanish majors
Hometown: Bayonne
PEP is my home away from home. In PEP I have learned many things about myself. PEP has showed me how to interact with different people, and I have met many people that influence and inspire me as the days go by. I have also learned how to identify and cope with my feelings in safer ways. |

Zeba, age 21, English & Education majors
Hometown: Jersey City
PEP has opened me up to all different types of people. Not only has it given me a chance to help and educate my fellow students about real life issues that affect us every day, it has also helped me learn more about myself as a person. I love PEP! |

Jennifer Mullan-Gonzalez, MA, Coordinator
Although Jennifer has began coordinating the Peers Educating Peers Program in January 2009, she is not new to the PEP group . Over past years she has presented workshops and co-led group personal growth groups on PEP retreats, as well as faciliated weekly meetings. She began her history with PEP as a former NJCU undergraduate and member from 1998-2002. Jennifer enjoys helping the Peppers reach the NJCU and the surrounding Jersey City communities, and feels strongly about providing support, education, and opportunities for students.
John Sherry, Ph.D., Founding Coordinator (
On leave January 2009 - December 2011)
Affectionately dubbed "Dr. Pepper" by the PEP members, Dr. John Sherry has been coordinating the Peers Educating Peers Program since he founded the group in 1995. He enjoys helping the Peppers reach a wide variety of audiences, and creating opportunities for students to acquire personal and career skills that will give them a competitive edge.
