WAVE at NMSU Welcome to the WAVE Program
Mission Statement:
The Wellness, Alcohol and Violence Education Program (WAVE) is a harm reduction program which educates the campus community on issues of personal safety and well-being. WAVE's Peer Educators provide fellow students with information and strategies regarding alcohol use and the prevention of sexual assault and other forms of interpersonal violence. Employing a dynamic and comprehensive plan, we create bridges between campus entities to cultivate safe environments for the NMSU community. WAVE provides services and supports to students regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion or national origin.
