What is Student Anti-Violence Education (SAVE)?
The Student Anti-Violence Education (SAVE) Program is part of the Office of Anti-Violence Initiatives (OAVI), located in Suite # 159 of Eickhoff Hall. Focused on empowering TCNJ students to make healthy lifestyle choices and our campus community a safer place, SAVE hopes to achieve the following mission: To serve as spokespersons, student mentors, and referral agents for the Office of Anti-Violence Initiatives (OAVI). Supervised by the Coordinator of OAVI, the SAVE Peer Educators provide evidence-informed programming to empower students with healthy relationship skills and to promote prosocial bystander behavior. The program and its leaders believe that students can play a uniquely effective role in encouraging their peers to consider and talk honestly about the issues of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking, while developing responsible habits and attitudes towards these issues, as well as seeking professional advice when necessary.
