The mission of Student Affairs is to provide programs, services, and educational experiences which promote UCLA student success and enhance the quality of campus life. To this end, the Health Education unit provides curricular programs (such as Community Health Sciences 179: Life Skills for College Women and Men) focused on student developmental outcomes including, but not limited to, coping with stress and managing emotions, identity development, and effective interpersonal communication with diverse others, and healthy self care. 

The Health Education unit is interested in partnering with UCLA staff  who would like to work with students in a meaningful way outside of  their traditional staff roles on campus. We are seeking to identify staff who would like to assist with the CHS 179 class by serving as discussion leaders.  Here are particulars about the class followed by a description of the section leader position:

• The class is offered each academic year; during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. 
• During the first quarter of involvement with the class, staff participate as observers and assist the primary section leader with class facilitation and grading. After the initial quarter spent as an observer, staff who are able to continue to participate can lead a section independently or continue to co-teach with another staff member.
• The class meets twice a week either on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each class lasts one hour and fifty minutes. In addition, section leaders spend approximately two to four hours a week attending section leader prep meetings, preparing for class, and grading student assignments (i.e. weekly journals, presentations, and papers).
• A training meeting for discussion leaders is held prior to the start of every quarter.
• Each section enrolls between 15-25 students.
