FAQ’s
Who can join? All students and majors are welcome!
What are the requirements to join?
- You must have at least a 3.0 GPA
- You must be (or be scheduled for a CPR course during the semester you are joining) CPR certified. The CPR certification needs to be an in-person class, not online. If you have been certified in-person previously, you may do the online refresher course but will need to show proof of both classes.
- You will need to fill out the application online along with the confidentiality form, dress code, and acknowledgement of handbook forms signed and dated. You also need to provide a copy of your most recent unofficial transcript as well as your CPR certification.
- Must attend 75% of meetings and 75% of in-services.
How much are dues? Dues are $15 for the year or $10 per semester.
How many meetings per month? There is one meeting and one in-service each month. There will also be sport tournaments, various events and other sign up opportunities. Social, fundraising and philanthropy events will also be scheduled throughout the year.
Do I need any experience? We do not require specific experience; we hope to help you build experience!
I’m a senior, is it too late? Definitely not! We have many seniors that joined their last year and made lasting impressions.
How should I stay up to date? Once you have met all requirements and paid dues, you will be added to our Canvas site. You can also follow us on social media:
