Washington College Catering offers bar service and follows the College Alcohol policy. The Catering Department understands and appreciates the particular challenges faced in trying to offer an event which includes underage students while offering alcoholic beverages to your guests of legal drinking age. If you require bar service for a Campus event, you will be required to fill out an application through the Director of Student Development including a written proposal outlining the procedures intended to restrict underage drinking with approval from Campus Security and Catering.
Please notify the Catering Department as soon as you know you will be having alcohol at your event. We will not provide alcohol service without two week notice and proper arrangements must be made with Campus Security.
