Prevention & Training

Student training is offered as part of new student orientation. Any student who does not participate in the orientation training on hazing awareness must make other arrangements to fulfill this obligation by working with the Alford Community, Leadership, and Involvement Center.

Students must participate in this educational training before they are allowed membership into any University-recognized campus organization or athletics team. Students who do not participate in the training will be barred from participating in any campus organization or athletics team and may face further educational or disciplinary actions under the Student Code of Conduct.

Any campus organization or athletics team that allows a student to join without completing the required training may be subject to the loss of University recognition, funding, or other privileges.

Denison’s hazing policy and state and federal law require each campus organization to conduct anti-hazing training for any faculty, staff, or volunteers who work with or have direct contact with students and who advise or coach a Denison-recognized organization, including athletic teams.

Any campus organization including, but not limited to, fraternities, sororities, club sports/intramurals, band/music ensembles, varsity athletics, etc., seeking to allow volunteers from outside of the campus community to be in contact with students are required to work with the Division of Student Life on providing this training to volunteers.
