 We have a really cool offer from these people for a really good deal on WFA training. So check it out.

     We got a great response of interest for a Wilderness First Aid course so we're going ahead with scheduling it! The course will be held on the weekend of April 9th & 10th and will be in Scaife Hall (Rooms TBD) from 9:00am-5:00pmboth days, with the majority of the second day being held outdoors at Schenley Park. In past years students had a great time with this course.

The course covers what happens if you're outside the "golden hour" of medical care, where you won't have access to definitive medical care for hours or even longer.  You'll learn how to initially assess patients, provide wound care, splint, and treat environmental, orthopedic, or insect/animal bite injuries you may come across if you're in the wilderness or remote locations far from medical care. There will be plenty of hands-on training allowing you to practice the skills you learn. This course is great for anyone that hikes, kayaks, rock climbs, etc. or anyone who is interested in emergency medicine or trauma. After completing the course you'll also get an official Wilderness First Aid certification that is good for three years (For more info click here).

Thanks to the cost of the course being subsidized by the WMS we are able to offer it for only $35! This payment can be made through Paypal, Venmo, or cash/check (see sign-up form). This price is based on an attendance of 20 people, which is the maximum amount of people we will allow to sign-up for this course (If less than 20 people sign-up you will be reimbursed the difference, e.g. If 12 people sign-up the course cost will be $21.66/person and you will be reimbursed $13.34). This is a great deal compared to similar courses offered by NOLS ($225) or SOLO ($175), so take advantage of this great opportunity! The course will be capped at 20 students and payments and sign ups must be received by 12:00pm Wednesday, April 6th! Sign up early to secure your spot by using the below link!

That's all I have to say about that.

The Closing of the Semester

By
Hello all you beautiful people!! I am completely floored that it is already April 17th, we will not have a GBM tomorrow as we simply have no more information to impart! It has been an absolutely amazing semester and year! Two years back from the covid desolation, and I would hazard to say that you can't even tell. This year went by so much smoother, we had a better idea of what we were doing and the dozens of officers that joined our ranks made the process so much easier to manage. Thank you to all the officers who assisted in making this year the amazing success that it was. That being said, we do not have this club without all you beautiful people who show up to celebrate the amazing outdoors, so truly I say thank you to you guys as well. We have yet to decide if we're doing a senior send-off or something for the officers that our leaving us, I cannot say for sure what that will look like, but I'm sure I'll have a part to play in that. However, in the off chance that
