Questions on this conference? Contact Tracy Maxwell at tracymax88@gmail.com
This summer, be a part of the solution!

Do you suspect more hazing is taking place than is being reported?

Are you afraid the next hazing tragedy could happen in your organization and you’re powerless to stop it?

Have your educational and judicial efforts to end hazing failed to produce lasting change?

IIHP

The Interdisciplinary Institute for Hazing Intervention was developed to bring together professionals and volunteers from a wide variety of perspectives to receive training and engage in discussion about how to effectively address hazing.

The 3-day program will be divided into two tracks – one for individuals at the policy-level and the other for those on the front-line of educating and talking with students. There will be some overlap of the two groups during the training.

When: June 4-7, 2008
Where: North Carolina State University
Cost: $600 includes lodging in on-campus apartments and most meals

Hazing affects many different segments of college life and the larger society, and is complicated by the secrecy and tradition in which it is practiced. Its elimination requires a unified and unequivocal approach. Through this training, we hope to bring together those individuals with the power to impact the problem on a large-scale, and provide the tools to help them do so.
