Hazing Prevention

Hazing prevention starts with awareness. Brightpoint provides students with resources and training to help recognize, report, and prevent hazing.  Student Prevention education is provided through  Vector Solutions™ VA Safe Colleges online education programs, including Hazing Awareness and Prevention for Students.

Hazing prevention programs are provided to students through their SDV 100 courses and shared with students by email at the beginning of each semester.

The hazing policy is published annually in the College Catalog and Student Handbook.
