Students Train to Save Lives on Campus | College Basketball News

Student body president Cole Rotondo is leading a bold campus safety push after becoming CPR certified and realizing the lack of clear emergency protocols. Alongside Rithi Ramurthy and Shruthika Nair, he launched a free CPR training pilot that equipped over 20 students with life-saving skills — from chest compressions to AED use and tourniquet application. The initiative aims to certify RA’s and ambassadors, but is open to all, with the goal of building a campus-wide safety net. They’re also auditing AED locations to meet national standards and ensuring every student knows where lifesaving devices are. Crucially, funding won’t come from student fees — they’re hunting for alternative sources and building long-term infrastructure to make this a lasting, university-wide program.
