The vehicles will be open for walkthroughs and SUA members will be on hand to answer questions.
Tuesday, Nov. 15
SUA will be tabling in the Schine Student Center Atrium from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will focus on vitals/CPR awareness, and include free blood pressure screenings, demonstrations of hands-only CPR and demonstrations of the Zoll AutoPulse® Resuscitation System.
