Dear NCEMSF,

Collegiate EMS Week, a week-long recognition and celebration of collegiate
emergency medical services, is just around the corner: Monday, November 9 to
Sunday, November 15. To kick off Collegiate EMS Week this year, NCEMSF is
coordinating a National Collegiate CPR Day. The goal is to have as many college
students as possible educated in the basic principles of CPR on a single day
across all of North America. Take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity
to celebrate campus based EMS together with all other collegiate corps
nationwide.

An updated EMS Week packet filled with ideas for activities and publicity is
available online for immediate download - just enter your school affiliation and
download the .pdf files. Also available is the specific CPR Day packet - read
