Why This Training is Required

WSU requires Hazing Prevention training to ensure employees understand what hazing is, how it may occur, and what actions to take if concerns arise. This training supports WSU’s compliance with state law and institutional policy, as well as broader expectations for campus-wide prevention education and transparency.

Why It Matters to Your Work

At WSU, preventing hazing is a shared responsibility. Creating a respectful, supportive environment means recognizing behaviors that may cause harm, knowing when and how to respond, and helping connect others to support and reporting resources.

Hazing, regardless of severity, can undermine trust, belonging, and well-being within our community, which is why awareness and early intervention matter in every role.

Who Should Prioritize Completing It

This training applies to all employees annually, regardless of role or work setting, as maintaining a safe and respectful environment is a shared responsibility across the university.

Who to Contact if You Need More Help

Learning Administrators support employees across the university by helping connect learners to required and optional training in Percipio. Assigned by area, college, or campus, they provide guidance on training access, completion, and compliance to support employee learning and development.

Contact your assigned Learning Administrator when you have questions about required training, assignments, or access to learning content in Percipio. They can also help if you encounter issues with enrollment, completion records, or need guidance on training requirements specific to your area, college, or campus.

If you know who your area’s Learning Administrator is, they’re your best first point of contact for questions about training, assignments, and learning support within your area. Learning Administrators work closely with Learning & Organizational Development (LOD) and can often help quickly resolve questions or guide you to the right next step.

You can contact LOD directly if you’re unsure who your Learning Administrator is, your question spans multiple areas or campuses, or you need additional support beyond what your Learning Administrator can provide.
