SCARP is a community of students, alumni, community partners, faculty, and staff who all comprise who we essentially are.

None of this happens automatically: faculty, staff, students, and alumni are partners in community, enriching SCARP life with events, opportunities, knowledge-sharing, and life-long connections.
