Collegiate Recovery Communities aim to support and assist students in or seeking recovery from addiction. Our aim is to create a safe space which facilitates connections between students working on maintaining recovery while attending classes, achieving their academic goals, and engaging in UNO and the greater Omaha community.
Recovery Themed Housing
In partnership with Housing and Residence Life, students living on-campus have the opportunity to participate in recovery themed housing. Students living in recovery themed housing will have direct access to the Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) and share an apartment with other students in recovery, seeking recovery, or serving as recovery allies.
The CRC offers the following supports to students living in recovery themed housing at UNO:
- Four bedroom, two bathroom, living area, and full kitchen apartment in University Village
- Social support and community with other students living on campus who are in or seeking recovery
- On-campus recovery meetings
- On-campus and off-campus educational opportunities and events
- Leadership opportunities in the CRC student organization
- Referrals to specialized services such as counseling, coaching, and tutoring
To apply for this community, students should complete the UNO Housing Application in MavLINK, select University Village as their first housing choice, and select "Recovery Themed Housing" as their community preference.
Ally Training
Become a Recovery Ally during our 90 minute training (for staff and/or students) where we include basic science, racial justice, and philosophies of care and recovery. Recovery Allies will increase a community's recovery capital, decrease stigma, and build intervention skills.
