NMSU's Hazing Prevention Consortium

At New Mexico State University, our Hazing Prevention Consortium is a dynamic coalition of staff working together to build a campus environment where every student feels safe, respected, and free from the dangers of hazing. Our approach is comprehensive and rooted in the latest insights from the Hazing Prevention Framework™, ensuring that our initiatives are both effective and evidence-based.

Through education, outreach, and collaboration, we focus on prevention first — making sure students, faculty, and staff know what hazing looks like, how to stop it, and how to support one another. Our goal is simple but powerful: create a campus culture where hazing has no place.
