An active member of the greater Boston area community, Roy MacDowell serves as principal of Baystone Development in Weston, Massachusetts. Roy MacDowell formerly sat on the board of trustees of Babson College, where he studied as an undergraduate.
To encourage innovation, collaboration, and problem solving, Babson College strives to create a supportive, entrepreneurial environment. To augment these efforts, Babson recently received an NCAA CHOICES grant, which provides funding to the school’s Athletics and Recreation and Health and Wellness departments to improve alcohol abuse prevention on campus. With this funding, the two departments will work together to launch Project T.E.A.M., which stands for Team Engagement for Alcohol Management.
Project T.E.A.M. will offer peer-to-peer education about alcohol abuse and wellness while also training student-athletes to become peer leaders. This approach emphasizes team bonding and community engagement, both of which speak to the larger entrepreneurial mission of the institution. While Project T.E.A.M. is being implemented through Athletics and Recreation, it will engage student groups outside of athletics as well.
