It's National Hazing Prevention Week and also UMBC Be Your Best Self Week.

We will be viewing clips from the acclaimed documentary Hazing, featuring Byron Hurt (director of “Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes” and “Soul Food Junkies”, both of which aired nationally on PBS). Hazing offers a powerful, deeply personal look inside the culture of hazing on America’s college campuses. Hurt, a fraternity member himself, gives voice to members of both Black and historically white Greek-letter organizations, survivors of severe hazing, and families of young people who died during fraternity and sorority initiation rituals.

Following the documentary, there will be a group discussion regarding the applications to our context at UMBC.
