A Bill

Bill History

 

This past year has been an especially difficult year for the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Great State of Colorado with regard to combating the excesses in drinking on campuses.  This issue has been the impetus for the formation of a number of initiatives on campus to combat the campus culture that surrounds drinking to promote more responsible use of alcohol on campus.  The student group the Student Emergency Medical Services (SEMS) seeks to ensure the safety of students who engage in the use of alcohol by training first responders and having them at social events that students choose to engage in.  The SEMS will have professionally trained EMT personal at events who are in contact with an advisor.  This remarkable student led program will be professionally accountable and utilize and enable better judgment as to when more advanced services like 911 should be employed.  The SEMS needs funds to purchase EMT kits which will be available for their use in the event of an emergency.
