It will be specific to your building and will consist of classroom instruction on what to do in an incident like this. There will be a simulation so you will know what to do and where to go in your building.

If your major requires either a Basic Life Support for Health Care Professionals (BLS) certification, or you would like to become certified in CPR/First Aid/AED, you can take these classes here on campus!

This summer, there will also be a hybrid BLS and Heartsaver re-certification class available that combines both online and hands-on re-certification.
Contact Mark at mstone@georgefox.edu for more information.
Summer is a great time to schedule a CPR/First Aid/AED class! If nobody in your department or building is certified in CPR/First Aid/AED, please consider scheduling a course this summer before the fall semester begins.
