Haze

Documentary & Discussion

Sunday, 20 Sep 2015 at 8:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union

The documentary Haze examines college drinking culture in America, including the 2004 death of college freshman Gordie Bailey following a fraternity hazing incident at the University of Colorado. The film sheds light on the severity of college binge drinking and hazing through graphic images filmed at campus parties, during emergency medical calls, and from police files.

A discussion will immediately follow the 36-minute film. Participants include Kenyatta Shamburger, Assistant Dean of Students and director of Multicultural Student Affairs; Natasha Croom, an assistant professor in the School of Education; Bobby Dennis, the Male-Outreach & Prevention Coordinator with the ACCESS Assault Care Center; and Joe Campos, assistant director of the Office of Student Conduct.
National Hazing Prevention Week is September 21-25, 2015.
