Collegiate Recovery Community

Recovery to inspire, share and empower (R.I.S.E.) is ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ’s collegiate recovery community that provides students support and resources for recovery from alcohol and drug misuse or other addictive disorders, as well as students impacted by addiction of someone they know. This community provides a safe, fun, and sober space where students can connect, engage, and thrive.

Offered in collaboration with the Collegiate Recovery Community, this peer-led training introduces participants to recovery-friendly language, how to recognize signs that someone may be in or seeking recovery, and how to offer support. The session emphasizes how anyone can become a Recovery Ally and help create a campus culture that supports students living with or impacted by substance use disorder.
