“Being involved in a student organization gives me the chance to experience the various cultures and perspectives of other students while having an impact on the UC community. I have grown closer to the student body and the people that make UC the amazing university that it is today.”

Dana Richman

“Being involved makes college more than just going to class, but rather a growing-up experience or a journey. Through this experience you meet other students with diverse interests and gain life and leadership skills.”

Jacklyn Woniger

“Being involved in student organizations has afforded so many amazing opportunities, including professional windows and leadership accomplishments, not to mention all the incredible places I have traveled to for the University. I have grown immensely as a leader, friend, colleague, mentor, and personally as an individual. I feel successful, capable, and truly appreciate my relationship to the University as a whole.”

Sweta Patel

“Through participating in different organizations, I have learned how to work in a team, adjust to changing dynamics, grow as a leader, network and positively impact the students of the University which has given me an exceptional education and endless opportunities.”

Leah Nguyen

“The benefits of getting involved at UC are numerous! There are groups for nearly every interest, and if not, you can start one! The students are energetic and passionate, so making friends is easy. It’s a great way to get to know the campus and campus life as you figure out who you want to be.”

Stephanie Neiheisel

“Not only does being involved help you grow in leadership skills, it opens you up to a world of diversity that you would have never been able to experience before. You are able to experience the world simply through meeting new people in your organizations.”

Radhika Grandhi

Nigel Mask

“When students are involved in student organizations they are self-prescribing a model of leadership specific to themselves and the needs of the university community. Student organizations provide a catalyst for effecting change in the campus community and the community at large.”

Radhika Grandhi

Lauren Maggrisso

“Getting involved in student activities has exposed me to the immense collegiate learning opportunities outside of the classroom. By developing my leadership on campus, I have the confidence to make my voice count in today’s changing world.”

Radhika Grandhi

Keenen Maull

“Being involved in student organizations opens your eyes to who you are and what you are like. If it weren’t for campus involvement, I would not have had the experiences that helped me grow into the person I am now.”

Radhika Grandhi

Jay Lame

“Student involvement teaches you how to be an effective leader. It has taught me the significance of following through on my promises and learning how to empower others. Both are vital to being successful. My student involvement has paved the road for success.”

    

RAPP

RAPP Mission: Fighting Oppression through Individual Awareness and Collective Action

RAPP - also known as the Racial Awareness Program - focuses on three areas:

  • A 9-month experiential learning program where students challenge, debate, and educate each other on issues of social positioning and social justice.  Learn more about RAPP HERE.

 

  • An alumni program for graduates of the nine-month program where students continue their exploration of social justice as well as develop facilitation and peer education skills.  Learn more about RAPPORT HERE.

 

  • Campus and community outreach through workshops and trainings focused on building crosscultural communication skills, self-awareness around social positioning, social justice issues, and developing agency in fighting oppression.  Learn more about Outreach HERE.

For more information on RAPP, RAPPORT, or to schedule a program, contact the RAPP Program Coordinator, Rebecca Lehman, at 513-556-6119 or lehmanrl@uc.edu.

RAPP News:

RAPP was elevated through support of the Diversity Council in 2008 - check out what we've done with that in the 2010 RAPP Diversity Council Report.

Want a quick overview of the work RAPP does?  Check out the new RAPP brochure!  This was created to take to the ACPA Institute on Social Justice in November to share with other colleges and universities what we do that makes RAPP unique!
