This resolution expresses support for designating the week of September 22 through September 26, 2025, as "National Hazing Awareness Week" . It defines hazing as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act against a person during affiliation with a student organization that causes or risks physical or psychological injury. The resolution highlights the severe impact of hazing, noting that 55 percent of college students in extracurriculars report experiencing it and hundreds have died from collegiate hazing. The resolution emphasizes that hazing prevention is a vital and ongoing commitment, not limited to a single week. It references the recently enacted Stop Campus Hazing Act , which mandates enhanced prevention efforts, incident reporting, and transparency from institutions of higher education. Ultimately, the resolution encourages the people of the United States to actively observe National Hazing Awareness Week by promoting awareness and prevention strategies.
