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. 

Want to help? Consider supporting students in recovery through online giving or our Amazon Wish List!
