"The Institute helped me think critically about the attitudes and environments conducive to hazing, develop strategies for recruiting anti-hazing allies and champions and enact changes to the way I speak with organizations and colleagues about hazing."
-John DiSarro, Assistant Director of Fraternity/Sorority Life, University of Rochester

"It exceeded my expectations. I feel I am armed and ready to use the curriculum to make effective change."

"YES! The theoretical foundation, although hard to grasp at first, became exceedingly helpful and applicable to any community issue (not just hazing)."
-William & Mary Participants

"The curriculum was much better than my already high expectations. I lobbied for financial support to attend in large part due to Dr. Cassie Gerhardt's testimonial from last year. After going through the curriculum, I can understand why Cassie gave such a positive review. Truly the best professional development experience I have had."
- Fred Dobry, Director of Risk Reduction, Sigma Nu

"I went in order to support our campus professionals, without knowing all that would be involved. What I found were energetic and commited profesionals on our staff, the faculty, and among the participants. It created a direction and a sense of hope that this is a problem that can be addressed directly and successfully from a position of caring."
- Howard Foltz, President, Greek Alumni Council, Lehigh University
