Each year, the Missouri College Health Behavior Survey is administered to a random sample of Rockhurst undergraduate students to learn more about the attitudes, perceptions, and behavior concerning alcohol. The survey participation is voluntary and anonymous. Survey results indicate that most students at Rockhurst drink in moderation or not at all; however many students believe that their peers are drinking at a higher rate than is actually accurate.
Please help educate our students by explaining the purpose of a social norming campaign and promoting positive awareness and responsibility. For more information, please contact Taryn James, Assistant Director of Student Life.
