On the Downers Grove campus bonfires are allowed at the barbecue pit, only. Student groups wishing to hold a bonfire must seek approval and apply for a burn permit from the Village of Downers Grove through the Office of Student Activities. Children under 18 are not permitted at bonfire events. For the safety of all involved, students are asked to use discretion and common sense regarding this type of event when alcohol is being served to assure the safety of others. A Faculty advisor and MWU Security Officer are required to be present in order to host a bonfire. Approval of such events is at the discretion of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students reserves the right to cancel a bonfire or the event for any reason.
