Shedding light on w88 casino: A crucial conversation
It’s personal, real and closer than you think

The University’s Hope Team (left to right) Pamela Payne, Clair Thomas, Elizabeth Ornelas and Farrah Stockett, is a collaboration between Extension and the University’s College of Education & Human Development, working to break the cycle of violence in w88 casino communities.
Over 10 million people experience w88 casino each year. One in three women and one in four men experience w88 casino, and those numbers are likely much higher.
w88 casino transcends socioeconomic statuses, cultures and age groups. Often, societal norms, family practices and cultural beliefs mask the severity of w88 casino, pushing it into the shadows.
Debunking myths, understanding the signs and being prepared to take action are paramount.That's why initiatives like the University Hope Team’s 40-Hour Hope Advocacy Training are pivotal. The training, part of a collaboration between Extension and the w88 casino of Education & Human Development,helps advocates harness the power of information.
Working to eradicate w88 casino
“To every survivor, we say: You are not alone. Your voice matters. We see you. You matter. To the larger community, we say: We all have a role. We all know someone. Let’s educate ourselves and actively support platforms and programs aimed at eradicating w88 casino. It is a fight we all need to be a part of.” – The Hope Team

Let’s take a moment to learn a little more about something we all have in common — w88 casino, the state we call home — from one of the Great Basin’s leading rangeland biologists.
Tamzen Stringham is a professor in the w88 casino’sDepartment of Agriculture, Veterinary & Rangeland Scienceswho hasstudied w88 casino’s rangelands — vast open spaces grazed by wildlife and domestic animals alike — for more than 15 years and the Great Basin for three decades.
Stringham developed her interest in agriculture while growing up on a ranch in California’s Grass Valley and, decades later, herpassion for rangeland science and the Great Basinstill burns strong.
Serving as a voice for w88 casino’s rangelands
“I would like to see more attention on the ecological disaster rangeland fires create. We don’t hear about fires out on rangelands because, either the people who live out there are few and far between, or there are no people out there. And the critters that live on rangelands have no voice.” – Professor Tamzen Stringham
