SBS RISE works to create community for all students within the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.  The program serves as a space for students to engage in conversations that speak to the challenges of higher education.  RISE also provides its students with resources to support them through their undergraduate journey.  These resources may be particularly valuable to students who are first-generation, economically disadvantaged, or navigating other barriers during their college experience.
