About REACH

Who We Are

REACH works with graduate and undergraduate students, staff, faculty and administrators at SDSU. We promote healing, accountability, and community building through facilitated processes. We value self-determination, the inherent worth of all people, and interconnectedness.

REACH supports proactive community building and education, as well as responsive healing and accountability in the aftermath of harm. This applies whether that harm is a violation of the code of student conduct, the code of sexual misconduct, or other harm not covered by any campus code.

What We Do

When incidents of interpersonal conflict, identity-related bias, hate, and other conduct of concern impact the SDSU community, the REACH Office offers support. REACH facilitates processes that encourage accountability, address harm, and support healing.

Some incidents may not violate university policies or the law. They can still conflict with SDSU values found in our Principles of Community. The REACH Office, often in collaboration with other campus partners, offers a suite of tools for conflict resolution, community building, and community repair as a resource for students, staff, and faculty. REACH focuses on healing-centered practices of support and accountability and works to ensure all involved parties receive the necessary resources and information in a timely manner.

What We Offer

To show the importance of responsive and restorative practices at a university like SDSU, the messaging must emphasize that a campus is more than just a place of study. It is a community where conflict is inevitable, and growth is intentional.
