The university, through its employees, has a commitment to treat its own use of alcohol at university events with these core values in mind. This approach is consistent with the educational philosophy of the university which holds that students should be encouraged and helped to develop responsible attitudes and behavior as they prepare to enter a world in which alcohol is used. Guidelines and policy related to student use of alcohol can be found in the student code of conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are university sponsored events where the presence of alcoholic beverages, when consumed in a healthy and responsible manner, may be appropriate.

*It is best practice to post \u201cNo Alcohol Beyond This Point\u201d signs if an event takes place in multiple locations, such as Seitz Conference Center and the connected alcoves or the Multi-Flex Theater and the Snyder Academic Center atrium. The sponsoring department is responsible for the posting of these signs. They can be requested from the Office of Student Engagement with at least 48 hours advance notice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
