If you are staying at the Courtyard by Marriott, the NCAA Conference Center entrance is a short walk across West Washington Street and down the Central White River Trail across the pedestrian bridge.

This institute style program will employ the Piazza Center Horizontal Hazing Model to identify the motivators and detractors for individual, organizational, and community participation in hazing. The program will scaffold learning through large group sessions and small group working sessions where participants apply research-informed concepts to the real-world environment. Participants will depart the institute with a working plan for implementing hazing intervention on their campus or in their organization.

As a result of participating in the Hazing Prevention Institute:

• Participants will describe individual, organizational, and community level hazing motivators and barriers to hazing reduction.
• Participants will describe three ways the Piazza Horizontal Hazing Model can be applied to their campus/organization.
• Participants will apply the four components of situational strength to their campus/organization and will identify four strategies to disrupt situational strength.
• Participants will identify four change management strategies they can employ in their hazing reduction efforts.
• Participants will create a plan for enacting a comprehensive hazing elimination program. Three months post-institute, participants will report having taken steps outlined on their plan.

If you have questions about the Hazing Prevention Institute, contact Todd Shelton, Executive Director.
