ADVISORY COUNCIL ON STUDENT NEIGHBOR RELATIONS
About
Convened in 2005, the Advisory Council on Student-Neighbor Relations is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the neighborhoods adjacent to the campus. Focused on facilitating communication, mutual respect and cooperation between Cal students and permanent residents, the Advisory Council's primary aim is to build good student/neighbor relations.
Since its inception, the Advisory Council has supported good neighbor initiatives, campaigns and programs that respond to the changing needs of Southside residents including: Cal Move Out, Cal Move In, Happy Neighbors, Every Bear Goes Home and collaborates with health education programs like PartySafe@Cal to engage and serve students and neighbors.
Historically, Advisory Council members have represented students, neighborhood and merchant organizations, senior University and City of Berkeley staff and other community groups. Voluntary in nature, SNAC members represent their respective constituencies and are committed to building connections with their campus or community counter-parts.
The Advisory Council meets regularly and is convened by Joseph Greenwell, Dean of Students and Chris Treadway, Assistant Chancellor of Government and Community Relations, in partnership with the ASUC External Affairs Vice President and City representatives. During those meetings the campus and community stakeholders have opportunity to hear updates of work conducted in partnership with campus, city and community leaders; and consider new opportunities for collaboration.
