An opportunity for students in recovery to access enhanced community support while pursuing an active, on-campus life and academic experience.
The Recovery Residence at Hogan Hall is a unique residential opportunity for Saint Joseph’s students in active recovery to live in a supportive community environment, all while maintaining their academic life on Hawk Hill. This innovative effort is the first-of-its-kind in the Philadelphia region and serves as the centerpiece of Saint Joseph’s collegiate recovery program, offering support for every facet of a student’s residential experience. The residence is staffed and supported by personnel from the University’s collegiate recovery program, a collaborative effort between the Office of Counseling & Psychological Services and the Office of Student Outreach & Support, including an on-site program manager who directly supervises the residence, an alcohol and drug therapist who both counsels students and serves as clinical advisor, and a case manager who coordinates various on- and off-campus support resources for the residents. The residence encourages health and wellness in mind, body and spirit for our students in recovery.
Residents will be uniquely positioned to enjoy the full range of resources of our recovery programming, from University-funded events and activities to expanded counseling support.
Residents will be well suited to take on student leadership positions and help to decide how to best continue to support recovery on Hawk Hill.
Admission to the residence is on a rolling basis and is open to all students in recovery.
Each prospective member of the Collegiate Recovery Program will participate in an admissions process that helps them to get to know our staff and community and learn about all that we have to offer to support their experience at SJU. The process also allows us to learn more about how our community can best support the student’s individual recovery goals.
Interest: Current and prospective students should contact our staff at recovery@sju.edu to express interest in the Collegiate Recovery Program and/or Recovery Residence.
Application: Interested students should complete this electronic application form to help us learn more about you and your interest in the Collegiate Recovery Program or recovery residence.
Interview: Each applicant will meet with our program manager and clinical advisor for an interview to allow us to get to know your unique goals and needs. This interview will help you learn more about the program and determine if participation aligns with your goals.
