TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) is a dynamic skills -training program conducted by certified TIPS trainers. Participants learn about the effects of alcohol consumption and gain an understanding of the social and legal responsibilities associated with the service of alcohol. Through videotape presentation, interactive class discussion and skills training exercises, participants learn to recognize potential problems and intervene in a tactful manner to prevent alcohol-related tragedies. TIPS workshops are coordinated by CASE and are offered throughout the academic year.

During T.I.P.S. training, students receive training on how to increase their communication and interpersonal skills toward influencing their peer's drinking behavior in a non-threatening way. This program goes much further than the standard approach of receiving information on the dangers of alcohol, but instead students receive training on how to intervene with others who are consuming too much alcohol. T.I.P.S. is utilized nationally and is used heavily by the hospitality industry, where hotels, casinos, restaurants, clubs and taverns are getting their personnel T.I.P.S. certified. Becoming T.I.P.S. certified may help our students obtain a career in the hospitality industry. Also, many insurance companies acknowledge the value of T.I.P.S. training as an effective risk reduction tool and offer substantial savings on liquor liability premiums to T.I.P.S.-certified associations.
