St. Patrick's Day Weekend

By Lisa Severy, Interim Dean of Students

As St. Patrick's Day approaches, we'd like to encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly, and to take steps to ensure the health and safety of yourself and others.

• If you are out at night, it is harder for drivers to see you. Wear light colors.
• Remember to be a good neighbor: keep your guests inside and your noise levels down. If you are hosting a party off-campus, please register your party with Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations by noon on Friday in UMC 313. Party Registration.
• You can expect to see an increased law enforcement presence from CUPD and Boulder PD.
• If you are of age and plan to drink, avoid mixing alcohol with other substances (like prescription drugs and marijuana) and drink plenty of water too.
• Use the buddy system. Always walk with somebody, don't leave friends alone while out at night, and remember to tell your friends, family and/or roommates where you are going.
• Look out for each other and call for help if you're concerned, even if that means making the hard call.
• If you are out late or drinking, take advantage of CU Night Ride (303-492-7233) or Late Night Transit.
• The obligation to help prevent sexual assault is on all of us. It’s On Us.
