About the Institute
The Novak Institute for Hazing Prevention tackles the challenging public health problem of hazing in a totally unique way. This four-day, interactive experience teaches diverse groups of interdisciplinary participants how to address hazing from a strategic approach that focuses on prevention rather than just response.
Nationally recognized faculty teach a prevention framework based on proven principles that are grounded in research. The Institute is geared toward individual professionals, teams of professionals and students who want to take whey they’ve learned back to their communities to create and implement an interdisciplinary hazing prevention program designed for their community.
The Novak Institute utilizes multiple learning strategies that allow participants to think critically about concepts while providing opportunities to apply the tools in the Institute’s learning community. Since the Institute curriculum design allows for individuals and teams to learn together, we encourage participation by interdisciplinary teams. Teams can comprise professionals who work in a variety of capacities that may find the Institute beneficial as a means to begin or refresh hazing prevention initiatives. Institute participants represent many campus organizations such as:

Should individuals who are not part of a team attend the Institute? Absolutely. Individual participants are welcome and, in fact, have comprised a significant percentage of attendees at the Institute, representing campuses or inter/national organizations. The Institute curriculum includes time for individuals to work through both taking information back to their campus or organization, as well as using Institute lessons to advance hazing prevention efforts on their campus or in their organization; however, we discourage individual students from attending on their own. We have found that students need professional support on site to achieve an optimal learning experience.
