What Will Be Covered at the Institute?

• A culture change model taught through the 3P2E framework (Philosophy, Policy, Procedures, Education, Enforcement); 
• Curriculum built using evidenced-based approaches established by the Higher Education Center, National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and
        Alcoholism and the framework behind stages of change and motivational interviewing;   
• The basics of the industry standard risk management guidelines taught through the Ladder of Risk; 
• Resources to teach students about safe event planning.  

Who Should Attend?

The Hart Institute for Social Event Planning is intended to "train the trainer." Thus, the target audience is truly professionals who can go back to their campuses and organizations and train their fraternity/sorority leaders. This includes:

• Campus-based fraternity/sorority professionals in conjunction with staff that work with the FSL  population (conduct, Title IX, campus security,
        etc.) 
• Students in council leadership positions (must have advisors attend) 
• Inter/national fraternity/sorority headquarters staff members or volunteers that work in the area of risk management education
• Anyone interested in learning more about the industry standard risk management guidelines, how to facilitate and teach more effectively, and
        resources for creating safer events 

After the Institute

Following the Institute, participants will receive a portfolio of resources to use on their campuses or within their inter/national organizations. Additionally, it is our goal that participants will be equipped to train volunteers, fraternity/sorority leaders, and chapters on social event planning in a fun and educational manner.
