We are invested in supporting each other in our recovery journey.
The Memorial Union is hosting meetings for those interested in recovery programs during the 2023-2024 academic year. Access the current schedule below.
College is a place to live and learn independently. The Joan & Tom Skoro Collegiate Recovery Program aims to provide an open, inclusive environment for students seeking support for substance use harm reduction and recovery while promoting civility and acceptance of others. We work to increase awareness of substance use and its related impacts through education, outreach, and support. Through these services we hope to decrease stigma related to help seeking for substance use on campus and the surrounding community to provide a supportive learning environment that promotes students’ academic success, health and wellness. If you are a student on our campus with questions or looking for support please contact us at [email protected] or explore our recovery support options and mutual aid meetings below.
We are here for you.
In 2013, Oregon State took steps toward meeting the needs of students in recovery from substance use disorders by launching a Collegiate Recovery Program funded in part by Pepsi through the OSU Beverage Partnership.
The Joan & Tom Skoro Collegiate Recovery Program provides an opportunity for students to enjoy a social life with additional support in a recovery-first environment. In 2016, the program expanded to include a donor-funded Recovery Living Community in partnership with University Housing & Dining Services.
We invite current or prospective Oregon State students to join our Collegiate Recovery Program, for opportunities to engage with, support, and mentor peers with similar interests. Join us! Email us for information, or complete this form to become a member. We’re here for you.

Special note to students, staff, and the community: Meetings will not take place during OSU holidays and Corvallis campus closures. We do not anticipate this to impede recovery support services. We encourage students, staff and the surrounding community to engage with and access alternative meetings and means of recovery support on days when Oregon State meetings are unavailable. Please feel free to reach out with questions or feedback.
