College traditionally is a time to explore new interests, get involved in a new activity and figure out who you want to be in this world. For those involved in the Peers Advocating Anti-Violence Education group at UNLV, it is also a time to educate fellow college students.

Sponsored by the Jean Nidetch Women's Center, the group is a reincarnation of the safety team that once operated on the UNLV campus from about 1996 to 2005. As a peer-based model, the anti-violence education group is funded by a grant through UNLV.
