Some Tips
Picnic Day is a family-friendly open house with many fun events.
If you’re planning to have your own Picnic Day celebration, the following tips can help make it a fun and safe event.
- Let your neighbors know you are going to have an event and give them your phone number so they can call you if there are any problems.
- Keep your event to people you know. It is better to have it inside or in your backyard to avoid unwanted guests.
- Have a sober friend watch out for everyone and respond to any situation that may arise.
- Serve food and non-alcoholic beverages.
- Provide safe transportation for guests who have been drinking.
- Know your responsibilities and liabilities as a host
- Visit UC Davis Safe Party for various resources whether you are a "party thrower” or “party goer”
- Be sure to check out the City of Davis’ various safety initiatives for Picnic Day this year
- Remember Aggies Act! If you are with a friend in need who may be under the influence, this allows you to reach out for help without being subject to disciplinary action.
- If you see something, say something! Notify the police and be prepared with the location and critical detailed information.
Safety and respect are key to a successful day. Please make responsible choices, look out for one another and represent UC Davis with integrity both on and off campus.
