The goal of this project was to analyze and improve the safety of social drinking culture at WPI. Through interviews of student leaders and faculty, and a survey of students, the team concluded that social drinking is prevalent at WPI, fraternity parties are generally safer than apartment parties at WPI, and that WPI's good Samaritan policy-the Culture of Care Resolution-needs strengthening and increased awareness. The team developed recommendations and educational material for WPI faculty, event hosts, and event guests.
