Collegiate Recovery Center

We recognize the needs of students in recovery and have established a Collegiate Recovery Center (CRC). This is a safe space of fellowship and support for those in or seeking recovery as well as friends and family affected by substance use of loved ones. Attend meetings, grow your network or simply hang out!
