By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. 1. Recognize warning signs of hazing and explain the potential academic, physical, and mental health impacts on students.
   2. Explain their responsibilities as mandatory reporters, outline the institutional procedures for reporting hazing concerns, and describe the university’s response and investigation process following a report.
   3. Connect students with appropriate support resources and provide informed follow-up after a hazing incident or disclosure.
