Hazing Prevention Week
September 8- 11, 2026
Cougs Don’t Haze. Let’s build a safer, stronger Cougar community together.
Hazing Prevention Week is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff across the WSU system to come together in support of a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus culture. Hazing, no matter how subtle or severe, undermines trust, belonging, and well-being. At WSU, we believe true community is built on support, not suffering.
Cougs take care of Cougs, and that includes knowing how to recognize hazing, refusing to participate, and taking action to prevent harm. Whether you're a student in a student organization or on a team, or a faculty or staff member supporting students in and out of the classroom, preventing hazing is everyone’s responsibility.
WSU recognizes Hazing Prevention Week earlier than the National Hazing Prevention Week based on our academic calendar.
Throughout the week, we'll highlight resources, promote conversations, and provide tools that empower the WSU community to:
Understand what hazing is—and isn’t
Recognize warning signs
Report concerns safely and confidently
Support those impacted by hazing
Promote prevention and accountability
Events and Programs: Open to All
Come talk to students and staff about preventing, recognizing and reporting hazing.
