Mission
StopHazing’s mission is to promote safe and inclusive school, campus, and organizational environments through research, resource sharing, and the development of data-driven strategies for hazing prevention and the promotion of positive group climates.
As a research entity dedicated to building a research base to illuminate the nature and extent of hazing and inform effective hazing prevention, StopHazing’s work is grounded in the following values:
- Research to practice: Purposeful and rigorous inquiry to develop an evidence base that informs knowledge and practice.
- Collaboration: Mutually beneficial engagement with organizational partners and individuals to achieve common goals.
- Leadership: Taking action for healthy, inclusive, and equitable group and organizational environments.
StopHazing is an organization dedicated to violence prevention and to disrupting ways in which abuses of power are normalized. As such, the dismantling of racism and white supremacy and other forms of oppression is integral to enacting our mission to promote “safe school, campus, and organizational climates. . .” Read our Juneteenth statement and resource list.
