  1. The Stop Campus Hazing Act Explained for Higher Education Leaders - On Campus Podcast

    4D AGO

    The Stop Campus Hazing Act Explained for Higher Education Leaders - On Campus Podcast

    In this episode of On Campus, Elizabeth Allan, PhD, Professor of Higher Education and Director of the Hazing Prevention Research Lab at the University of Maine and Founder of StopHazing and Meredith Stewart, MEd, Operations Manager for StopHazing break down the Stop Campus Hazing Act and what it means for colleges and universities as new federal requirements take effect. Signed into law in 2024, the legislation amends the Clery Act and introduces new expectations around campus hazing reporting, transparency, and prevention programs. With the first full Annual Security Report including hazing data due in 2026, institutions are now facing critical questions about compliance, policy development, and campus culture.   Our conversation explores what higher education leaders need to know now—from Campus Hazing Transparency Reports and reporting requirements to the operational realities of implementation across student affairs, public safety, and compliance offices. We also examine how institutions can move beyond compliance to build safer, more accountable campus environments, and why transparency around hazing incidents is becoming essential for student trust, institutional credibility, and campus safety.     Links: CITI Program’s Clery Act Course: https://about.citiprogram.org/course/clery-act-training/  StopHazing: https://stophazing.org/  Hazing Prevention Research Lab: https://umaine.edu/edhd/hazing-prevention-research/

    MAR 26

    Gen Z Expectations for College and the Future of Higher Education - On Campus Podcast

    In this episode of On Campus, we welcome Dr. Corey Seemiller, a leading researcher on Generation Z and co-author of "Generation Z Goes to College," for a candid conversation about what Gen Z students truly want from higher education. Drawing on years of national research and direct student voices, Dr. Seemiller challenges common assumptions—emphasizing that Gen Z is not simply an extension of previous generations, and that traditional practices in admissions, pedagogy, and campus life must evolve to meet new realities. The discussion explores the critical factors Gen Z weighs when deciding if college is "worth it," including cost, lost wages, alternative career paths, and the need for institutions to demonstrate clear return on investment.  The episode also delves into issues of trust, transparency, and the student experience, highlighting Gen Z’s skepticism toward institutional messaging and their desire for authentic, student-driven content. Dr. Seemiller shares insights on microcredentials, the evolving value of a degree, and the impact of AI on learning and recruitment. She underscores the importance of holistic support services, mental health resources, and flexible learning modalities, urging colleges to rethink outdated structures and actively engage Gen Z in shaping the future of higher education. The conversation closes with a call for institutions to listen, adapt, and create positive change in response to Gen Z’s expectations and needs.  Links: Dr. Corey Seemiller's website – https://www.coreyseemiller.com/

    Professional Development Series – Episode 3: Radical Compliance in Corporate America - On Campus Podcast

    Unsure if the job listings you see on LinkedIn are ghost posts, spam, or how to investigate red flags as to why a role is open?

Unsure what a compliance profession really means or includes?
