National CPR and AED Awareness Week

This message is shared on behalf of Environmental Health & Safety.

Celebrate National CPR and AED Awareness Week from June 1–7

Did you know that immediate CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival during a cardiac emergency? This year’s theme, “It Starts With You,” reminds our campus community that anyone can save a life. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to take a few minutes this week to learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR and familiarize themselves with the location of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) across campus. Your quick action can make a life-saving difference—join us in building a safer, more prepared university community by getting trained today.
