NRAP was developed to provide a safe and fun community where sober students can meet others and not feel alone. An on-campus lounge allows students to drop in between classes to study, attend mutual-aid meetings and make new friends who are also sober. Beyond the lounge, NRAP provides opportunities to give back to others and their community, hosts off- and on-campus events such as sober tailgates and hikes, and allows those in recovery to advocate for the field. Learn more when you visit the NRAP Lounge in the William Raggio Building, 1001.
