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.

Hazing Intervention and Student Support (HISS) Presentation

A HISS presentation is a customizable educational presentation designed to meet the unique needs of student organizations, residence halls, athletic teams, and other campus groups. Topics can include K-State's hazing definition, recognizing hazing behaviors, understanding Hazing's impact, bystander intervention stratagies, navigating reporting options, and connecting students with support resources. By tailoring content and discussion to each audience, the presentation helps groups build healthy traditions, strengthen community, and foster a safe and inclusive campus for all.
