Creating an effective, comprehensive hazing prevention strategy: the role of in-person and on-line education
Thursday, May 22 • 2:00 PM ET
The federal Stop Campus Hazing Act requires campuses to develop comprehensive hazing prevention and awareness programs. What are the pros and cons of online and in-person programming? How can your campus select the right tools in the right dosage for your students? The program will address best practices in student learning and engagement, discuss several online and in-person programs, and review ten years of evaluation data for an AFA Excellence in Educational Programming winning online program and from a recent NASPA Gold Excellence Award winning in-person program.

Intent to Prevent: A Dialogue on Hazing
Thursday, June 12 • Noon ET
Environments influence actions. If we want to prevent hazing, we need to change the environments that permit and promote hazing. Intent to Prevent is about empowering community members to take active, intentional steps to prevent hazing in all forms.
This program gives students the knowledge and inspiration necessary to serve as community antibodies, protective, self-replicating forces that spread to defend, heal, or improve a system. In this case, our fraternity and sorority community.
In this session, Dr. Reynolds will discuss prevention strategies, highlighting some of his personal examples navigating hazing as a fraternity member, advisor, and alumni. He will share some of the ways he engages college students in this conversation and facilitate a dialogue on strategies for advising fraternity and sorority leaders on personal and organizational change.
Dr. Kevin Reynolds is a nationally recognized expert in student risk management and prevention programming, specializing in sexual violence prevention through bystander intervention, hazing prevention, and the prevention of alcohol and drug misuse and abuse.
To be announced.
