A Personal Story of Triumph Over Tragedy
Your talk on campus was incredibly powerful and effective. I had heard that you were a good speaker, and that really was an understatement. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for those, like you, who share their own personal experiences with others to try to make changes. You are the real deal, and I applaud your efforts!

- Hazing: The Fallout
Hazing: The Fallout
As a first generation college student, Travis went off to school not knowing what to expect. The chance to attend college came as a result of his abilities as a high school football player, and when summer camp opened for the football team he was among the first to get the “rookie treatment.” The only thing worse was his fraternity pledging experience.
Travis left college after his first semester, before the school had the chance to kick him out. In his keynote, “Hazing: The Fallout,” he tells his story of the pain and hidden harm cause by his hazing experiences. Travis went on to complete his college career at another institution, and today is the associate dean of students at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
“Hazing: The Fallout” is a fresh, new look at hazing from the perspective of a victim with a background that contributed to the severity of the impact. Travis’ emotional and powerful story is the perfect way to give your students a wake-up call about the hidden harm of hazing.
