15 Years of Growth, Rooted in Support, Branching into the Future
Welcome to the official webpage for Collegiate Recovery Week, celebrating “15 Years of Growth: Rooted in Support, Branching into the Future.” This week is dedicated to honoring the commitment, resilience, and achievements of our community as we reflect on 15 transformative years. From our beginnings rooted in collective support, we’ve grown stronger, extending our branches to reach new heights and impact even more lives. Here, you’ll find information on events, stories of inspiration, and ways to get involved as we celebrate the past and look forward to a future full of promise and possibility. Join us in marking this milestone and the many more to come!
What is Collegiate Recovery Week?
The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) was founded on April 15, 2010 and has since recognized April 15th as Collegiate Recovery Day. As the number of programs have grown, so have the celebrations and so now, we celebrate Collegiate Recovery Week – creating a full week of programming, social media campaigns, and opportunities to build connection!
Collegiate Recovery Week is an opportunity to host events on campus, celebrate the joys of recovery, share stories, and uplift one another through community!
What is your CRP, business or organization planning this year to celebrate collegiate recovery week?

Collegiate Recovery Quilt
Last year, we introduced an inspiring project aimed at celebrating the unity and diversity within our collegiate recovery communities. This year, we are continuing to collect squares for a Collegiate Recovery Hope Quilt. We’re inviting each collegiate recovery program to contribute a 14″ by 14″ square to be incorporated into a large quilt. This quilt will serve as a visual representation of our profession, showcasing the strength, resilience, and creativity of our members. The combination of squares will create a powerful symbol of solidarity and support. Your unique contributions will not only add to the beauty of the quilt but also highlight the collective impact of our efforts in fostering recovery and wellness on college campuses. Let’s come together and weave our stories into this extraordinary tapestry of hope and healing!
The Collegiate Recovery Quilt will be displayed at the Annual Conference, and can form an ongoing legacy of programs contributing to its pattern over time.
Depending on your preferences, there are multiple ways to participate:
- Send us a CRP-branded t-shirt and we will cut it to size
- Send us a custom 14”x14” fabric square with your own custom design!
To submit a square, please mail it to: P.O. Box 1541, Kennesaw, GA 30156 and email [email protected] so that we know we can expect a square from you.
Please mail your squares by May 2, 2025 to have them included in the quilt displayed at this year’s conference! Squares mailed after this date will be added to the quilt after the conference. A webpage will be developed to track the progress of the Quilt after the annual conference this year (2025)!
