About the Organization

  • Panthers for Prevention (P4P) is Drury University’s peer-led health and safety organization dedicated to creating a campus culture of care. We lead initiatives like our annual Love Week, host wellness and self-defense programs, and provide bystander training through ENGAGE.
  • P4P also operates Health Hub Carts, which distribute free hygiene and safer sex supplies across campus, and our Safe Ride Program, offering Uber vouchers to help prevent impaired driving. Through education, events, and collaboration with campus partners, we work to ensure every Panther has the resources and support they need to thrive.
