ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ receives campus safety upgrades

stop the bleed kit

Campus safety is a priority for ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ. ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ has placed Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) strategically in all buildings on the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ main campus as well as the satellite locations in Pittsburg and Mount Pleasant. Each month Justin Hargrove, Head Athletic Trainer, performs routine safety/maintenance checks of each machine to ensure they are in proper working order. 

This past year, Hargrove partnered with Russell VanBibber of the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program to also place Stop the Bleed kits in various locations around the campus. In addition to teaching the staff members and community members CPR throughout the year, VanBibber also teaches Stop the Bleed courses.

"We are pleased to partner with the EMS program, and Jeff Chambers of the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Business office to provide a AED with a Backpack to not only carry the AED, but loaded with gloves, gauze, tourniquet’s, and other Stop the Bleed supplies for our ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Security officers to carry in their vehicles while on duty," Hargrove said. 

ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ is committed to ensuring our students and guest safety while on campus. For more information about ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Safety and Security, go to .
