Our Story

Established in 2015 with the primary objective of raising awareness about diabetes, Raising Awareness with Students (RAWS) has evolved significantly. In 2016, it achieved recognition as a Registered Student Organization at Michigan State University. Notably, RAWS has gone beyond campus boundaries, venturing to Harvard Medical School to engage in discussions on bioethics, health, and human rights within the prison system.

The organization's strategic plan encompasses implementing impactful programming within the Public School system, hosting public events for the community, and utilizing engaging, interactive approaches to mitigate minority health disparities. RAWS is committed to fostering understanding and addressing health-related challenges in a dynamic and enjoyable manner.
