2024 Hazing Prevention Week
Wake Forest University’s annual Hazing Prevention Week will occur from Monday, Jan. 29, through Friday, Feb. 2, 2024, with educational programs and initiatives for the community each day. Events include educational training sessions for students and advisors to better define and understand hazing prevention; a Student Government forum to examine and provide feedback on the University’s current hazing policy, and an opportunity for the entire campus community to pledge to take a stand against hazing.
The featured Hazing Prevention week program is the panel discussion “Hazing Prevention – A Community-Wide Conversation,” being held on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 5 p.m. in Pugh Auditorium in the Benson Student Center (with a heavy hors d’oeuvres reception to follow). The goals of the panel discussion are to open up dialogue about defining and understanding hazing, build campus awareness and ability regarding hazing prevention, and enlist campus community members to become active bystanders regarding hazing.
