Keeping Jayhawks Safer Since 2010

The Jayhawk Buddy System is a protective behavior campaign created by KU students to help peers stay safer if they or their friends choose to drink alcohol. This campaign offers tips and tools for what students should be doing to increase safety. It also utilizes social norms, which allows students to have accurate information about the behavior of their peers.
