Founded in the early 1970s after the Kent State shootings, the Survival Center is an umbrella organization geared towards the education of the campus community around issues of social justice and environmentalism.

It is an organization open to the concerns of students and works to empower its members to help their voices be heard.  The Survival Center space itself is designed to put valuable resource material at the fingertips, and foster a welcoming feeling for all those interested in the program.

They hold rallies, teach-ins, host guest speakers, and promotes public forums for discussion.
