Campus Safety
Ensuring the safety of the members of our UTEP community is a priority. The CARE staff promotes safety through a proactive approach where we aim at educating students/staff/faculty of the resources available within campus.
If at any time you feel you are in danger, please call 9-1-1 OR contact UTEP Police (915) 747-5611

Nova
CARE and NOVA want to personally share this new initiative that the organization is piloting. NOVA has a three-year grant to train young college students to become advocates. Portion of the training will be conducted in person in Washington, D.C. and a paid internship opportunity with UTEP CARE or other community agencies are available. Travel costs are paid through the grant, in addition, the student selected will receive a stipend.
UTEP is one of five institutions participating and it would be great to have a good representation.
Please feel free to reach out to CARE at care@utep.edu.
