StandUp to Hazing™: Faculty and Staff
The StandUp to Hazing™: Faculty and Staff course is designed specifically for higher education professionals.
As a trusted presence in students’ lives, faculty and staff often witness early warning signs of hazing, but may not feel equipped to respond. The StandUp to Hazing™: Faculty and Staff course is designed specifically for higher education professionals. In just 30 minutes, they’ll get clear, actionable guidance to help them identify hazing, intervene effectively, and support students through prevention and reporting.
In addition to addressing policy and compliance, this course emphasizes the practical, everyday ways faculty and staff can model and reinforce hazing prevention. While many trainings focus on what not to do, this experience quips learning with the knowledge and skills to shape healthy teams and groups where hazing can’t thrive. Many faculty and staff worry they’ll miss the signs or say the wrong thing — this course provides practical tools and guidance to act with confidence.
With modules covering core concepts, role-specific responsibilities, and intervention skills, the training helps faculty and staff become confident, informed partners in creating safer, more inclusive campus communities.
Addresses the unique role campus professionals play in prevention
All in just 30 minutes, this course empowers them with realistic, research-informed strategies for:
- Recognizing hazing early
- Responding with care
- Knowing how and where to report hazing incidents

Unlike generic compliance modules, the StandUp to Hazing™: Faculty and Staff course recognizes that faculty and staff aren’t enforcers. They’re mentors, advisors, and everyday observers with unmatched access to student life.
NOTE: The Faculty and Staff course does not address hazing among employees/staff.
