CPR Certification
FSA is sponsoring a CPR Certification training. FSA will pay for the certification cost ($55/person) for one individual from each chapter to be certified.
The cost is $55.00 per person if chapters want additional members to be certified. Please note that due to the size limit/instructor availability, an additional training may not occur on the same day if we get a lot of people. This program will also be eligible for inclusion in the Medallion program under "Knowledge Acquisition."
Please complete the CPR Class Time Poll to identify times you and your chapter might be interested and the number of members you potentially would like to participate.
IFC Recruitment Information
IFC chapters must submit the Recruitment & New Member Information - Spring 2025 form by Monday, February 17th. This information will be used for New Member Orientation and provided to the FSA Growth & Expansion Committee.
Please note that failure to complete this form and provide the necessary information will result in VEMS access being placed on hold until it has been submitted.
New Member Orientation
This semester's New Member Orientation will be held on Friday, February 21st, at 4 PM in Feldman Ballroom. All new members are required to attend. If any issues or concerns arise, please contact Courtney Floom (courtney.floom@rochester.edu) before this date. These online trainings will open on this date as well.
