BC Campus Community Partnership Initiative

The Boston College Campus Community Partnership Initiative (BC CCPI) is a coalition (comprised of members of the BC community as well as the local community) aimed at addressing alcohol-related student behavior off-campus, in the neighborhoods surrounding Boston College. The coalition holds monthly meetings to discuss problems and strategize about possible solutions. Previous meeting participants include:

• residents of Allston, Brighton, and Newton;
• BC students;
• landlords and property managers;
• realtors;
• Boston Police officers;
• representatives from the Inspectional Services Department;
• Boston College Police officers;
• student affairs officers and practitioners;
• and staff of the Office of Governmental and Community Affairs at BC.

Last Year's Initiatives:
The CCPI worked on several initiatives such as coordinating the distribution of informational guides to students living off-campus, advocating for an informational meeting on campus for off-campus students, and planning a Welcome to the Neighborhood BBQ for students.

This Year's Initiatives:
The CCPI began planning several initiatives such as increasing enforcement of state laws at off-campus parties, decreasing the availability of alcohol off-campus, and increasing communication and educational efforts geared towards students and residents.
