Each year the National Association of Students Against Violence Everywhere
hosts an annual Summit for students, advisors, and community members
to celebrate the success of SAVE chapters for the year.
Chapter members lead workshop sessions, display accomplishments in Exhibit
Alley, and have the opportunity to network with students from across the country.
