Faculty and Staff

It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the Pack. Students who are being hazed or treated poorly by a group are almost always afraid to speak up. Having someone they can confide in – a favorite faculty member, a work-study supervisor, an academic advisor, a coach, or teaching assistant – is very important. If you suspect that hazing is occurring, please report it through the Office of Student Conduct and learn more about What to Do. If someone’s life is in danger, call 911 immediately.
