The inaugural National Collegiate Recovery Day will take place on Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Collegiate Recovery Day will be an annual celebration to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE), which was April 15th, 2010.
National Collegiate Recovery Day will be an opportunity to celebrate collegiate recovery across the country, increase awareness about collegiate recovery programs (CRPs), and shine a spotlight on the key staff, students, and other supporters who make this work possible.
