Who should attend: A research think tank-style program among major researchers and senior professionals with at least 10 years experience in student affairs, national student organization staff, risk management, athletics, recreation or club sports, band or performing arts, school administration, insurance, etc.

The design of the symposia is to create a community of scholars and leaders dedicated to ending hazing. It is a space for researchers studying hazing and hazing prevention and senior professionals to gather, share, and interact. The symposia is structured to encourage dialogue, share new insights, review critical perspectives, and inform new research directions. The Hazing Prevention Symposium is organized in collaboration with the Piazza Center who is dedicated to prevention practice.

We have a room block available at the Courtyard Marriott which is across the street from the NCAA. You are responsible for your own accomodations.

The Hazing Prevention Institute provides you with the building blocks for proactive hazing prevention on your campus and in your organization with an evidence-based curriculum incorporating the socio-economic model and latest science. This interdisciplinary, practical and pared down prevention approach allows for small group interaction, sharing of best-practices, access to prevention leaders, and knowledge and materials you can take back to implement your year-round hazing prevention plan at home. Registration comes with a host of year-round benefits and webinars!

The Hazing Prevention Network’s Institute provides participants with a framework for developing a prevention plan that fits their unique situation. As research on hazing advances, we can more clearly identify the risk and protective factors for hazing behavior. In this one-and-a-half-day program, we will share models for success that have worked on other issues such as drinking and driving and smoking cessation, as well as success stories from practitioners in the field of education.

This program is designed for (and most successful with) an interdisciplinary team. We offer a substantial discount for teams of four or more representing different areas. However, we recognize budgets won’t always allow for this, and individual participants are welcome. This is not an educational experience for individuals about why hazing is wrong. Participants should come already knowing that, and with the determination to develop a plan for preventing it on their campus or within their organization.

Those who complete the curriculum will leave with tools for creating a plan of action to prevent hazing.

Note: The intention of this program is be a positive, solution-oriented program for students and young professionals that want to address hazing in their community. The program should not be a part of a sanction process for students unless your campus, club or organization speaks with Todd Shelton prior to registering.
