Prevention and Awareness Programs

The University provides a multitude of training and educational opportunities for students, student organizations, faculty, and staff regarding the topic of hazing. Many of these trainings are already built into the educational components of student organizations. Some examples include training with organizations that are registered with the Fraternity and Sorority Life office, the marching band, and K-State Athletics.

The University is continuing to expand its availability of hazing related information to better inform the campus community.
