Abstract: 

The Committee on University and Community Relations was created in fall 1990 with the original overall goal of improving relations between off-campus college students and their long-term neighbors in the City of Albany. One of the committee’s signature programs is the annual “Fall 15-Point Plan,” which includes both proactive and reactive initiatives to deal with inappropriate behavior off campus (often involving the overconsumption of alcohol) and to continue efforts to make the environment off campus safer and more secure as college students return to their apartments in the fall. Past initiatives are improved upon each year and new initiatives are added as appropriate. This article discusses the program’s purpose and how the school and the local community pla n to work together to improve relations.
