The Stop Campus Hazing Act mandates that all institutions receiving federal funding provide comprehensive hazing prevention and awareness education to all students, as well as staff and faculty. This education must be research-informed and designed to foster a campus culture that actively rejects hazing. The following education and awareness trainings and campaigns will include:
To ensure a safe and respectful campus environment, all first-year and transfer students are required to complete two in-person prevention trainings during Camp Crimson Orientation, prior to the fall semester. These engaging sessions, "Let's Talk About Alcohol and Other Drugs" and "The Consent Conversation," are designed to build upon each other, integrating crucial hazing prevention objectives with related topics like substance use and consent, which often intersect with hazing behaviors. These trainings, among others, are offered by the Office of Advocacy and Education. Through these comprehensive trainings, students will learn to:
An educational overview of alcohol and other drug misuse specifically tailored to the college student experience.
An active bystander education training empowering students by clearly defining what consent is and what it is not.
Each year, all students receive an educational email designed to equip them with the knowledge and skills to prevent hazing, intervene safely, and help foster a campus environment built on respect, safety, and healthy relationships.
Each year, all students receive an educational handout designed to equip them with the knowledge and skills to prevent hazing and what the Stop Campus Hazing Act means for them as students.
A customizable, in-depth training further developing students’ understanding and application of hazing prevention and intervention strategies, including how to build group cohesion through ethical leadership. Provided by the Office of Advocacy and Education.

Preventing Hazing in Your Student’s College Experience
As your student engages on campus with a variety of student organizations, you play an important role in keeping them safe. While their time at OU can be an exciting time for connection, growth, and leadership development, it can also come with some hidden risks – including hazing.
