Hazing Prevention

Using the ZTA Hazing Award to Implement Change at Florida State University

Presented: Adam Goldstein, Florida State University

In 2010, Florida State University became the first campus to receive the Zeta Tau Alpha Award for Innovation in Campus Hazing Prevention & Education. The award, recognizing the campus’s community-wide hazing prevention efforts, came with $10,000 for use toward its initiatives. The award follows a five-year effort of evaluation and experimentation that dramatically changed the way Florida State University addresses hazing. This presentation will provide an overview of the community’s journey and outline its plan for use of the new resources. Prior to the program, participants are encouraged to visit hazing.fsu.edu, FSU’s central location for hazing information, resources, and reporting.
