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.

The Crisis Assistance Listening Line (CALL) Volunteers Needed!
In June of 2008 WAVE received a grant from the New Mexico Department of Health to operate a crisis line. The CALL is a 24-hour warm line serving southern New Mexico. As a warm line our operators are trained to handle crisis calls, but we're also available to talk about other issues - such as family issues, problems at school, or depression.
We are continuously accepting applications for volunteers to operate this important community resource. A forty hour training is offered at the beginning of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Volunteers will be expected to cover a minimum of one four hour shift per week. Students can also volunteer for the CALL and receive class credit under CEP 499/598. Click here to apply.
