When Selena Evora was a freshman at the University of Rhode Island she walked into the Women’s Center and instantly felt at home.

She was especially impressed with a student group called P.L.E.A.S.E., short for Peers, Learning, Educating and Supporting Everyone. Its mission: to educate students on campus about relationship violence and how to prevent it.

“This is an issue that affects many people, but because of cultural taboos it can be hard for people to talk about it,’’ she says. “I wanted to make a positive impact on campus.’’
