What is S.T.A.R.?

S.T.A.R. is a student-led organization and movement within San Jose State University dedicated to advocating for students struggling with mental health and drug abuse through awareness campaigns, peer support, and collaboration with other organizations. S.T.A.R. strives to break the stigma around addiction and wishes to provide safe spaces for affected students. We aim for greater institutional support. We believe that campus culture is where no student has to face their struggles alone.
