CARES Peer Educators

CARES Peer Educators are student staff that work to provide prevention and educational programs, workshops, and events for the �鶹Ӱ�� campus community.

Peer Educators aim to actively engage students and transform campus culture with a focus on establishing equity, empowerment and ending all forms of sexual violence. We strive to promote an environment and create space that is inclusive and safe for exploring and learning more about power and privilege, systems of oppression, healthy relationships, gender, and more. We do this through immersive experiences that can include programs and events that facilitate dialogue, build skills, and increase access to information.

Do you have an event you want to see on campus? Are you part of an organization and looking collaborate? Want to bring a training to your student organization, athletic team, or department? Submit a request on our “Contact Us” page! We look forward to partnering with you!

Let’s meet the Peer Educations for the 2022-2023 academic year!

Peer Educators

James Schmidt ’23

Hey everyone! My name is James Schmidt, and I am currently a Senior studying Neuroscience. I have grown up in Northern California my whole life and I love exploring the new world of Claremont in Sunny Southern California. On campus I am also an EMT, part of a research lab in the Neuroscience Department and on the Pomona-Pitzer Baseball team. Outside of school, I love to cook, trail run, and explore the outdoors.

Jeysa Martinez ’23

Hi everyone! My name is Jeysa Martinez, and I’m a senior majoring in Gender and Women’s Studies who hails from The Bronx in New York City. I am so excited to be a Peer Educator for the 2022-2023 academic year! Mostly, I am looking forward to sharing all the amazing events, resources, and opportunities that the Peer Educators and I are curating for our community, so that we can all live more informed lives. When I’m not enveloped in all the workings of college life, you can most likely find me spending time with loved ones, learning about astrology, or online shopping for items I don’t need.

Devlin Orlin ’25

Devlin Orlin (he/him) is from Bethesda, Maryland, where he began working in student well-being support with his local public school system, and at Pomona he is looking to major in English with minors in Spanish and Chicane/Latine Studies. He also serves as a Queer Resource Center mentor, a Judicial Council panelist, and as the Sophomore Class President. He greatly looks forward to collaborating with the campus community to improve understanding of Title IX policy and violence prevention.

Ziona King ’25

My name is Ziona King and I’m from Louisville, Kentucky. I’m currently a sophomore at �鶹Ӱ�� with an interest in Africana Studies (African American Art and Literature specifically) and Psychology. I look forward to promoting a campus culture that is informed by safe, healthy interpersonal connections and relationships.
