https://www.nccpsafety.org/
This December, we are pleased to welcome Emily Pualwan (PDF), executive director of HazingPrevention.Org, to discuss building and sustaining year-round hazing prevention efforts on campus. This webinar will discuss the public safety issue of hazing, and the process for implementing broad and sustainable prevention plans that drive culture change. There are many overlaps in strategy and just as many differences in approach, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. This presentation is not ‘The Plan’ – it’s how we get there.
As the executive director of HazingPrevention.Org, Emily represents the organization in the media and in engagements with high schools, colleges and universities, and national organizations involved in the prevention of hazing. Her career over the past 25 years includes focus in the behavior and culture change areas of hazing prevention and awareness, including advocacy and education; anti-bullying advocacy and awareness; cancer prevention and smoking cessation, including advocacy and education; and substance abuse awareness and intervention.
Covering the roles that awareness, advocacy, public policy, education, and engagement share in the achievement of prevention goals, this presentation will focus on:
- Changing embedded cultural and campus norms to drive change
- The need to bring key stakeholders to the table to affect change from the bottom up as well as the top-down
- Understanding the prevention cycle and long-term prevention goals
- Building and sustaining an effective hazing prevention plan and platform throughout the year
- The difficulties of maintaining focus to work the plan
- The challenges campus-based professionals face in managing multiple and overlapping public safety issues
Understanding the role that national organizations take in implementing long-term hazing prevention strategies will help campuses and communities sustain local efforts in the shared objective to eradicate hazing.
The webinar is appropriate for professionals in secondary and post-secondary education, as well as those interested in prevention strategies and tactics, including public policy and wellness advocates, campus safety and security officers, residential life staff, student conduct and affairs personnel, victim services workers, wellness coordinators, and Title IX personnel. Those new to the field as well as more experienced professionals will benefit from the presented material.
