A Year in Review (Better late than never)

2007-2008 proved to be quite a year for us here at FUEMS! We reconnected with our alumni at our 30th anniverssay dinner, took delivery of a brand new 2008 Trauma Hawk ambulance to reaplace the former Rig 1 (the 1993 McCoy Miller), worked to improve our relationships with the administration of the school, and began looking into new ways to secure a steady source of income for the organization to ensure that we remain financially sound into the future.

We saw one of the most successful membership drives in the history of the organization, with over 100 students expressing interest in joining, graduating 68 new members from our four week training program, and providing 23 students Emergency Medication Technician training.

We responded to over 600 calls for help this past year from both on campus and off campus housing. We aided university students, faculty, and staff and when called upon, residents of the surrounding community on a strictly volunteer basis.

We were able to learn about our history, who played an influential role in the organzation from Bruce Nedelka to Charles Ashdown, Bill White, Dave Winters, John Grasso and the many others who worked tirelesly to move the organization forward and make us who we are today. We take great pride in maintaining the ideals with which the organization was founded and continuing the Jesuit tradition to be Men and Women for Others.
