Hosting Guide - Each year, the Student Activities Office publishes a guide to hosting events with alcohol. This booklet includes all the information you need to properly host an event with alcohol. You can pick up the 2007-2008 version in the Student Activities Office between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.

When a group or individual sponsors an event with alcohol they assume liability and take on risks associated with this type of event. The College recognizes this and acknowledges the difficulty in managing such events. However, the sponsor of the event is ultimately responsible for maintaining safety and preventing violations of College policy. In order to help you manage events with alcohol, procedures have been developed. Adherence to the Alcohol Policy and an understanding of these procedures will result in a safe, enjoyable event and will help your group avoid interactions with the discipline system.

Lost and Found - The Lost and Found is located at Info Desk, HUB upper level or Department of Public Safety.

Student Handbook - Your Student Handbook is distributed at the beginning of every academic year. It includes a planning calendar and all the information you need to be successful at Dickinson. Such topics as Residential Life policies, an academic calendar, a short history of the college, information about the Clarke Center, and how to publicize an event are part of this important publication.
