Collegiate Recovery Community

 

About Us

MSU’s Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) offers support services to students who are in or seeking recovery from substance use disorder, as well as allies. We aim to provide a safe and supportive campus community in which students in recovery from addiction can achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals. The CRC and its services are designed to empower students to thrive in the fullness of the college experience, free from alcohol and other drugs.

Jamie Daniels Memorial Scholarship: The Jamie Daniels Memorial Scholarship was established in 2019 for students in recovery at Michigan State University who participate in the Collegiate Recovery Community. Made possible by the Jamie Daniels Foundation and the Children’s Foundation, the foundation honors the memory of Jamie, a MSU alumni who died from an overdose at the age of 23 while receiving treatment for a substance use disorder and aims to provide education, resources, guidance, and support.
