The Power of One
The Power of One is the campaign created by the Hazing Prevention Team during the Summer of 2025 to empower students across campus to create positive change. This campaign was inspired by the famous quote of Sandy Coffey, the mother of Andrew Coffey who in November of 2017 died during a hazing incident at Florida State, “Andrew died in a room full of people”. Centered around hazing prevention and medical amnesty, The power of one brings awareness to the power every student holds to be able to do the right thing and make the call for help.

- Hazing Prevention Overview: This 20-minute presentation highlights the services provided by CHAW, defines hazing, educates students on what hazing may look like, and informs students of why they should have a vested interest in hazing prevention. Time Needed: 20 minutes
- Hazing Prevention 101: This presentation dives deeper than the hazing prevention overview. Hazing Prevention 101 is an interactive workshop where students will define hazing, be educated on the spectrum of hazing behaviors, warning signs of hazing, and anti-hazing laws here in the State of Florida. During the workshop students will also be given examples that they could encounter here on campus and discuss if it is hazing or not. Lastly, they will be able to brainstorm ways to intervene if they are concerned for a friend, and they will be given resources throughout the presentation. Time needed: 60 minutes
