It takes all of us to make our conference a success. We could not put this conference on each year without the generous dedication and support of our conference volunteers!

Please consider giving back to the community by signing up to volunteer during one of our time slots. Every hour counts! We are so grateful for our volunteers and can’t wait to have you as part of this year’s conference. The 2025 Annual Conference Volunteer Sign Up form allows you to sign up to volunteer at the annual conference.

The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) is conducting a workforce study among collegiate recovery professionals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape in the profession. This study aims to gather detailed data on salaries, job titles, positions within universities, responsibilities, and the scope of roles. By analyzing this information, ARHE seeks to identify trends, establish potential salary benchmarks, and provide valuable insights that can help advocate for fair compensation, support professional development, and enhance the recognition and support of collegiate recovery programs across higher education institutions. While we hoped to have collected enough data to close the survey at the end of January, we have decided to leave it open and encourage more folks to fill it out. Please participate in the survey if you haven't already in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current workforce.

The Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery (CYAAR) at Kennesaw State University, Georgia (USA) started the Collegiate Recovery Research Collaborative (CRRC) in 2017. The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) is excited to now host the CRRC to allow researchers to connect, collaborate, and progress important research topics within the profession of collegiate recovery.

Currently, the CRRC meets once a month on the first Thursday of the month at 12pm ET / 11am CT / 10am MT / 9am PT. Project-specific meetings may take place outside of this time.

The new Resource Hub has launched with the ability to search, sort, filter, and find a wide array of resources on all kinds of topics! We have created a link for folks to use to upload any existing resources they have that they would like to share with the community. Resources will be screened and sorted into the new organizational system by ARHE resource hub committee members – if you’d like to join this project working group, please reach out to Mack!

Please upload any and all resources you think would be helpful for other programs to have. Ideas of resources to add are: policies and procedures/strategic plans, budgets, event or outreach guides, grant proposals, marketing brochures, etc.

All types of media/content are welcome, such as social media graphics, webinar recordings, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs/Word Docs, and more!

SRCRA is a process that will assist CRPs to define their current programs and outline plans for moving forward, acting as a tool to help navigate the often-challenging advocacy paths within institutions of higher education.

SRCRA is a voluntary, evaluative process that includes both an internal and external review to highlight program strengths and attributes, identify areas of growth and improvement, and serve as quality assurance in order to assist programs and stakeholders in identifying and advocating for areas of continued growth and development.
