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.
