The goal of the Hazing Prevention Coalition is to empower all in our community to recognize hazing in its various forms, to know what to do when they see hazing activity or experience it directly, and to feel confident in taking action. If you think you have observed concerning behavior, report it. https://www.wm.edu/sites/hazingprevention/reportinghazing/index.php
