Hoos Against Hazing Council

The Hoos Against Hazing Council (HAHC) is open to any interested UVA student, staff, or faculty member. HAHC works to identify and advocate for ways to engage the University community in evidence-informed hazing prevention, intervention, and response. The Council meets twice per semester, with smaller working groups meeting more frequently to identify issues, create programs, and advocate for change.

  • Roundtable discussions with student organizations around hazing and alcohol misuse (developed and implemented by the HAHC Prevention Working Group). 
  • Partnering with the University Judiciary Committee during UJC Week to host an event around increasing education, transparency, and open dialogue regarding hazing response (coordinated with the HAHC Response Working Group).

In partnership with the Honor Committee, the University Judiciary Committee, and the Gordie Center, the HAHC created a campaign called “There’s no honor in hazing.”
