THE STORY BEHIND R.I.S.E.

R.I.S.E. began as a simple idea—a vision for a space where students could feel seen, supported, and empowered. From conversations between friends to planning the first event, R.I.S.E. was built on four core values: Resilience, Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment. What started as a small friend group with big dreams has become a campus movement. Today, R.I.S.E. continues to be a haven, a creative outlet, and a platform for change—one student, one story, one step at a time. Together, we rise.

OUR MISSION

R.I.S.E. (Resilience, Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment) strives to end mental illness stigma by fostering open conversations, creating safe spaces, and empowering students through community, creativity, and connection.

OUR VISION

R.I.S.E. envisions an environment where students feel seen, supported, and valued. We strive to create a space where mental health is prioritized, vulnerability is met with compassion, and every student feels empowered to rise above stigma.
