Kato Party 411

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 that 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.

Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon

New to Campus

What:               AA Meeting for young people
Location:         St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center
Time:                6:30-7:30pm Thursdays
Meeting Type: 12-Step Program
 
Alcoholics Anonymous® is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multicultural and apolitical. Participants share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
