  We are committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment free from hazing in all forms. Our dedication to hazing prevention involves educating our community about the harmful effects of hazing, promoting awareness, and implementing clear policies that uphold the dignity and respect of all individuals. We will actively engage students, faculty, and staff in conversations about healthy group dynamics and encourage reporting of any hazing incidents. Together, we will create a culture of accountability and support, ensuring that every member of our community can thrive without fear of intimidation or coercion.
