National College Health Assessment

The National College Health Assessment (NCHA) is a confidential, online survey used by universities across the country to understand the health issues and concerns of college students. SHW administers the survey every other year to a random sample of TAMUK students.

The NCHA collects information from students on topics like alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, sexual and mental health, weight and nutrition, and personal safety and violence. SHW uses survey results to plan programs and services to meet the expressed needs of TAMUK students.

Student Recreation Center (STRC)

The STRC provides many opportunities for Texas A&M University-Kingsville students to partake in indoor recreational, intramural sports, and fitness activities. The STRC includes two full-size multipurpose basketball courts; a 6,100 square foot cardio fitness and free weight room; and a 1/12 mile elevated indoor jogging track. Activities such as volleyball, badminton, and soccer are played in the gymnasium. The STRC also offers an adjacent outdoor basketball court.
