There is compelling research from this public health program that proper CPR/AED training can save the life of someone who is in cardiac arrest. Twenty-four members of SAAC were trained by Liz Jorn (FAR) and Jana Arabas, Faculty Instructors for the American Heart Association. SAAC members were taught skills such as how to do proper chest compressions and use an AED-students were also educated about the NEMO Heart Health program that provides awareness of the importance of heart health and AED education throughout Northeast Missouri. Truman SAAC Host Annual Basics For Bulldogs Community Engagement Event Basics for Bulldogs is an Community Engagement Event coordinated and operated by SAAC where Truman student-athletes train local youth participants in various sports of their choosing. Participants typically range from grades three through six and conduct two 45 minutes training sessions, and a 30 minute swim session. SAAC Hosts Inaugural Dogspys Awards Show The Dogspys Award Show is an event run by our student-athletes for our student-athletes celebrating both athletic and academic achievements from the current academic year!
