Hazing Prevention

Buckeyes Against Hazing

National Hazing Prevention Week is officially held from September 25 - 29, where many universities across the country make an effort to raise awareness and increase education about hazing. Our objective is to educate students on the importance of hazing prevention, promote healthy alternatives to hazing, and empower students to stand up against hazing.
