Every college and university that receives federal funding is required to publish an Annual Security Report by October 1 each year. But most students and families have never heard of it — let alone know how to use it.

Clery Center's free Guide to the ASR for Students and Families breaks it all down in plain language. What an ASR is, what it must include, how to read crime statistics, and what questions to ask your campus based on what you find.

Choosing a college involves a lot of factors. Campus safety should be one of them — and this guide helps you know what to look for.

Prevention is personal. And meaningful change takes people who are willing to keep showing up.

For Julie and Gary DeVercelly, hazing prevention became a lifelong commitment after their son, Gary DeVercelly Jr., died from hazing in 2007. Julie and Gary have shared Gary Jr.’s story, educated policymakers, and advocated for stronger protections for students. Their advocacy helped drive the movement that ultimately led to the Stop Campus Hazing Act amendment to the Clery Act.

Their work is a powerful reminder that lasting change requires education, transparency, accountability, research, and prevention.

This National Hazing Awareness Week, we invite you to take action in your own community. Clery Center offers free hazing prevention and education resources to help campuses move from awareness toward meaningful prevention.

What does hazing really look like? And what can we do differently?

"We Don’t Haze" is a short documentary that brings together the experiences of families and people impacted by hazing with perspectives from leaders working to prevent it.

The film helps communities identify hazing behaviors, understand their impact, and consider healthier alternatives to traditions that can harm students.

Clery Center and StopHazing also offer a free companion guide with resources for using the film to facilitate conversations and educational programming with students, staff, faculty, and campus organizations.

During National Hazing Awareness Week, watch "We Don’t Haze" and use it to start a conversation about what belonging, leadership, and tradition can look like without hazing.

🎬 Watch the film and access the free supplemental resources: https://www.clerycenter.org/hazing #:~:text=%E2%80%9CWe%20Don%E2%80%99t%20Haze%E2%80%9D%20documentary%20film%20%26%20supplemental%20resources

Is your campus ready to advance its approach to hazing prevention?

The Stop Campus Hazing Act amendment to the Clery Act established new requirements related to hazing policies, reporting, transparency, and prevention. But compliance is only one part of creating safer campus communities.

Our free guide, Clery Act Hazing Requirements: Advancing Your Approach, provides practical information to help campuses understand the requirements and consider how they can strengthen their existing hazing prevention efforts.

Use it to assess where your campus is today, identify opportunities for improvement, and move from meeting requirements toward meaningful prevention.

In October 2027, Clery Center will celebrate 40 years since Connie and Howard Clery co-founded this organization. We're looking ahead with gratitude—and with a clear understanding that there is still work to do.

The next generation of campus safety challenges will require the same courage, collaboration, and commitment that inspired our founding. Help us prepare for what's next. Donate today: https://www.clerycenter.org/donate

Two reports. Different requirements. One important reason to understand the difference.

The Annual Security Report (ASR) and Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR) both provide information about hazing, but they serve different purposes and have different reporting requirements.

That distinction can be confusing for campus professionals and even more so for students, families, and other members of the campus community.

Our free resource, The Annual Security Report & Campus Hazing Transparency Report: Key Distinctions, breaks down the differences and helps campuses communicate more clearly about what each report tells us.

Because transparency works best when people can understand the information being shared.

📣 NEW RESOURCE: Hazing Transparency Webpage Checklist 📣

To kickoff National Hazing Awareness Week, Clery Center is unveiling a new free resource to help campuses strengthen how they share information about hazing.

Under the Clery Act, colleges and universities must publish a Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR) twice per year, and make it available in a prominent location on the institution’s public website. But meeting the requirement is just the starting point.

A strong hazing transparency webpage can make information easier to find and understand while connecting students, employees, and campus community members with reporting options, prevention resources, and support.

Our new Hazing Transparency Webpage Checklist helps campuses review their webpages, make sure required information is included, and identify opportunities to make their information more accessible and useful.
