Hank Nuwer Collection
Background
Hank Nuwer, a 1968 graduate of Buffalo State College, is a social critic and author. Hank credits Buffalo State professors and students for contributing to his success as an author and journalist.
In 1999, he wanted to give something to the college in honor of Professor Fraser Drew, who inspired him to write, and in honor of a fellow classmate, the late Joe Nikiel. His gift to the college is a collection
of signed books, signed letters from authors with whom he corresponded, photographs, and drafts of some of his manuscripts.
Books
Hank has authored more than 18 books, one of which, Broken Pledges, was made into a 1994 TV movie, "Moment of Truth: Broken Pledges."
His research on binge drinking and hazing in schools and higher education has made him a sought after expert by CNN and other
national television networks doing special reports on those topics.

Hank Nuwer Hazing Collection
The Hank Nuwer Hazing Collection was instituted by the E. H. Butler Library Archives and Special Collections in 2006. An off-shoot of the Nuwer book collection, the Hazing Collection collects and compiles information on campus hazing studies, events, programs, etc. There exists the hope that this collection will provide researchers with the first national repository for hazing information. Much of the material thus collected (September 2006) has been received from CAMPUSPEAK and the Association of Fraternity Advisors (AFA), and provided jointly to the collection. Active acquisitions for the collection will occur.
