Hazing, Alcohol, Cyberbullying Speaker (New: August 24, 2019)

  • From Eric Pope of Rochester Institute of Technology: “RIT’s Fraternity & Sorority Life was honored to have the internationally renowned hazing prevention expert, Hank Nuwer, as our Hazing Prevention Week Keynote speaker. Professor Nuwer was able to share powerful stories on how hazing has impacted the lives of not only the victims but the families, friends, and others which really hit home to our community. . . .Hearing the stories about how others have suffered has only strengthened my resolve to continue fighting against this evil. “ 
  • Hank Nuwer: a man on a mission to end hazing deaths
  • Member of National Panhellenic Conference panel for reforms

 

Important: He speaks as an author and journalist, not an antihazing activist. If you want your students to hear the good and bad news about hazing directly from a speaker, consider inviting him. He pulls no punches. His background as a college student at Buffalo State was in Greek life and athletics (baseball player and soccer manager). 2018 BSC Hall of Fame induction of 1967 Soccer champions.
