With over 250,000 college students attending the 100+ colleges and universities in the area, Boston has a reputation to defend: being a college city that provides excellent education. Needless to say, it draws the interest and support of CARP whose aim is to empower college students. Basically Boston represents the mecca of college empowerment and support. Therefore, CARP is very proud to announce that this past Saturday, December 14th, CARP held its very first Interest Meeting with about 10 people in attendance.

Katie Howe, the CARP @ Boston’s chapter representative (pictured far right), introduced and explained the updated CARP model and vision with the aid of Kwonsun Jung, a local Bostonian who recently joined the national HQ team (not in the picture; took the picture). Together with the enthusiastic group, they were able to establish a meeting location and tentative schedule for the upcoming spring semester. The attendees ranged from young working professionals as well as college students from Wellesley, Boston University, Northeastern University, and Boston College. Starting with a hodge-podge of students from different schools, Boston will start as a community chapter with the aim to create on-campus student groups the following semester.
