Students around the country took a stance against hazing this week. National Hazing Prevention Week is an opportunity for campuses, schools, communities, organizations and individuals to come together and talk about hazing in their communities, raise awareness about the problem of hazing, educate others about hazing, and promote the prevention of hazing. Join the conversation — using #NHPW19!
