Student Involvement

 

The Southern University Student Rehabilitation Association was established in November 2000 as a project in Dr. Washington’s graduate introduction to the Rehabilitation Course. This organization started as a commitment to supporting professional development amongst students and the expansion into the rehabilitation field.

With the motto 'Lifting as we climb,' S.U.S.R.A. is committed to inclusivity and diversity. This organization aims to create environments where every voice is heard, valued, and respected. S.U.S.R.A. is dedicated to cultivating a dynamic community that fosters personal growth, academic excellence, and positive social impact.
