Learn to use an AED, learn to save a life

AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are being added to multiple buildings across campus. Join Chris Nickell on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m. in Olmsted Center, Rooms 310/311, for a quick and simple AED training class. In 30 minutes, you will learn a skill that could save a life.

An AED is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart’s rhythm and can deliver an electrical shock, if necessary, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during a cardiac arrest. We encourage as many people as possible to learn how to use these devices. By attending this 30-minute class, you can learn a life-saving skill.

Participants will earn BUILD (Bulldogs United in Learning Drake) credits and be entered into a drawing at the end of the semester. Additional BUILD information, including an online registration form, is accessible under the blueView Employee tab, in the Learning and Development section of Human Resources.
