Learn. Lead. Collect.
Every workshop you complete unlocks a collectible enamel pin that recognizes the knowledge, skills, and confidence you've built to help create a safer campus community.
The Sexual Violence Prevention Education (SVPE) Pin Program is designed to reward learning, encourage ongoing participation, and celebrate the students who are committed to making Nipissing University a more respectful, supportive, and inclusive place for everyone.
