RISE UP Center
Fostering unity and insight between Landmark College’s students, faculty, and staff of color and allies.
The RISE UP Center was created in the spring of 2017 by students and staff at Landmark College. The Center is a “BRAVE Space” for all students who identify as people of color to organize, collaborate, and build community among themselves and with the broader community.
The RISE UP Center and all sponsored programming are open to all students at Landmark College.

The RISE UP Center stands for:
- Reclaim—we want to reclaim our history and our stories
- Inspire—we want to inspire each other and future generations
- Sustain—we want to sustain each other
- Empower—we want to empower each other and those around us
- Unite—we want to unite to fight for fairness
- Provide—we want to provide knowledge and power for the people
The Center offers programming through guided discussions, educational films, field trips, community engagement events, and volunteer opportunities.
Our programming is designed to allow students of color to build solidarity with one another while also analytically examining topics relevant to their communities.
