Project Description

This descriptive database is composed of known empirical studies on the impacts of Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRPs). We identified, reviewed, and coded eligible studies to help us better understand the CRP research landscape and are delighted to now present it here as a resource for the field. The research team categorized and summarized items as follows: Lead author, supporting author(s), journal name, journal discipline, year, title, methodology/epistemology, analyses, key findings, social justice/diversity/equity/inclusion themes, theoretical or conceptual framework, and integrative behavioral health areas. Journal publication outlets as dissemination options for future research in the field of collegiate recovery were categorized according to: journal aims/scope, discipline, metrics, dominant methods, submission dates, and special projects. To ensure inter-rater reliability, all items were reviewed a second time by the PI.

Research Tasks: Update the database with recent publications; categorizing, outlining/summarizing each article to update data graphics

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: All levels of experience are welcomed

Mentoring Philosophy

As an instructor and mentor, I encourage students to research, critique, and think critically. My personal goals include supporting future generations of young scholars; I have mentored 30 unique students through 23 different positions over the past four years (2020-2023). In spring 2023, I mentored 15 undergraduate students with varying levels of capabilities through four mentoring programs (UROP, ERP, LIFT, Syracuse Internship program). Two of my mentees are also part of national fellowship programs: SAFE Project Student Leadership Academy and the NASPA & NOLES Undergraduate Fellows Program (N2UFP). I encourage my mentees to acknowledge, research, and confront disparities in their field of work or study. Nearly all my student mentees can be classified as one or more minority categories: first-generation college student, underrepresented minority (Black, Latinx, multiracial, South/Southeast Asian), LGBT+, low-income, child of incarcerated parent(s), military veterans, and immigrants. I am recognized for setting a high bar and investing time in meeting with students to intentionally build social capital among diverse mentees and develop assignments that would uniquely benefit their professional goals. In other words, I do not approach mentoring as a “one size fits all” model, even across similar mentoring programs (e.g., UROP). I make great efforts to individualize the mentoring experience for my students, adapting projects or supervisory styles to meet students where they are and help them get where they want to go.

Additional Information

This is an unpaid research assistantship that facilitates access to two different research groups (the Recovery Science Research Collaborative and the Collegiate Recovery Research Lab) where student research assistants can contribute to peer-review publication papers.
