The Community Research and Action Student Association’s mission is to serve the needs of CRA graduate students and facilitate connection between CRA students and the wider university community. We serve as a forum for the discussion of matters pertaining to the well-being of graduate students, provide leadership opportunities for students, represent student opinions and concerns, foster unity and belonging through meetings and events (for CRA students as well as other graduate students, independently or through co-sponsorship), and aid in the recruitment of graduate students to our program and department.
