In the fall 2008 semester, two students in my class, Heather Leininger and Jen Brazas, did an extensive study on the health and saftey policies at the Academy, including a survey of student and faculty knowledge of these policies. They uncovered that most of the students and faculty were unaware of current policies and had no first aid or CPR certification. After presenting a proposal to improve these areas at the school, we lost hope after waiting months for a response.
I am happy to report that as part of the opening faculty meeting of the fall 2009 semester, a Red Cross trainer gave a two hour presentation covering basic first aid for emergency situations. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I guess we lost hope a bit too soon. Just a reminder that you never can tell the long-term effects of your attempts to do something good.
