Frequently Asked Questions
Testimonials
My experience with the RISE interest community has been very special. It is reminiscent of our first-year housing where all the students are giving together, growing in the same ways as college. After our first year in college, all students go their separate ways in terms of living situations, leaving them to grow in their college experiences independently. Being in the RISE interest community has re-ignited the feeling of growing together. Each person is going through personal situations and experiences. However, in a community with like-minded people who prioritize God and resilience (regardless of how far away we drift from those goals), we physically and metaphorically seek refuge within that community. While the RISE IC keeps us accountable in that way, it simultaneously helps us grow.
