Mentors Isis Burks (Kinesology major) and Mailaine Patton (Biology major) were certified in Emergency Oxygen through the campus recreational center. This course teaches the skills necessary to provide care to a victim of a breathing emergency. They learned to use breathing devices such as the resuscitation mask and bag-valve mask resuscitators. Both mentors decided to complete the course to strengthen their resumes.

The course is 2 hours in length with a $20.00 fee for students.

The course requires an 80% passing score on the certification test at the end (though 2 tries are allowed). Upon course completion and passing, you receive a digital certificate from the Red Cross a week later through email. Each certificate includes a unique ID and QR code, meeting employment requirements.

The next opportunity to take the course is March 24! Sign up at the front desk of the Campus Recreation Center or visit them online here!
