Webinar Description
Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 PM (ET) | 11:00 AM (PT)
The Stop Campus Hazing Act is no longer a future requirement; it’s a present operating reality. This session draws on national, aggregated course survey data collected from students taking Hazing Awareness and Prevention for Students during the 2025–26 academic year. We’ll walk through where students’ knowledge, attitudes, and confidence to intervene shift most and where they don’t. Particular attention is paid to the “norms gap”: the documented difference between what students say they personally believe and how they perceive their peers to believe.
Policies and prevention programs have been required since June 23, 2025; institutions have been collecting Campus Hazing Transparency Report data since July 1, 2025, and the first public transparency reports were due December 23, 2025. The next major milestone lands this fall: hazing statistics appear in Annual Security Reports for the first time on October 1, 2026. Now that the reporting infrastructure exists, what is the underlying student data telling us, and how should it shape what institutions do next?
The session includes insights-to-action, using Vector Solutions’ Campus Prevention Network to translate this national dataset and an institution’s own data into policy language, a bystander-training emphasis, data-informed decision-making, and the stakeholder buy-in needed to sustain effective hazing prevention ahead of the October ASR deadline.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
-
Interpret national trend data on student knowledge, attitudes, and readiness to intervene in hazing situations, before and after prevention training.
-
Explain the “norms gap” between personal belief and perceived peer belief, and identify where national data show it closing versus persisting.
-
Apply national and campus-level survey data to strengthen hazing policy, prevention programming, and stakeholder conversations, particularly where formal reporting alone will fall short.
