Did you know that MSU Students Drink Less than you Think?
In fact, less than 1% of Minnesota State University, Mankato students drink daily – which is a lot different than what people think! MSU gets it.
This campaign is designed to correct misperceptions many have about MSU students and their alcohol use. Data collected from MSU students in randomly selected classes found that:
80% of MSU students reported they use a designated driver when they party
Most MSU students eat before and while they drink
Of MSU students who drink, most keep track of how much they consume when partying
Visit Kato Party 411 for more information! Kato Party 411 is a campus/community collaboration to decrease unsafe and irresponsible party behavior and promote alcohol-free activities. Kato Party 411 and Student Health Services work with other departments on campus and businesses in the community to offer alternative activities for college students such as dodge ball tournaments, safe spring break parties, and mock house parties.
Student Health Services was awarded grant money from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to design and implement the marketing campaign at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
The e-CHUG and e-TOKE are designed to motivate individuals to reduce their alcohol and marijuana consumption using personalized information about their own use and risk factors. These programs are designed by San Diego State University and are updated with the most current and reliable research available.
If you are required to complete e-CHUG or e-TOKE:
Failure to complete your sanction in a timely manner will result in progressive disciplinary action including, but not limited to, a “hold” placed on registration and future enrollment, additional educational assignments with a program fee, extended probation, relocation, contract termination, and suspension from the University.
If you have questions, please call Health Education: (507)389-5689 Mon-Fri 8:00 am- 4:30 pm. You can return to this site at any time to complete a personal ‘check-up' or track changes in use and risk behavior. For more information visit the Student Health Services for alcohol or other drugs. Find more information at e-CHUG, e-TOKE, and Kato Party 411
CHOICES engages students in a self-reflective process where they independently choose to change high-risk alcohol and drug use behaviors using information provided, the risks associated with excessive use and available alternative coping strategies.
Note: You are expected to arrive on time and stay for the entire session. If you are more than 15 minutes late, credit will not be given for attending. Appropriate behavior, participation, and confidentiality are required. Students under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs will be asked to leave.
