We are pleased to offer the Spartan Safe 101 series of trainings, with this month focusing on Active Threats and CPR. Our March training sessions are designed to strengthen personal preparedness and safety awareness across the San José State University community. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word to all staff, faculty, students/ student organizations to ensure up-to-date knowledge of current safety procedures.

These sessions provide critical safety information and practical skills to help individuals respond confidently during emergencies.

Training Topics Include:

CPR Training

• Participants will receive an overview of lifesaving CPR techniques, including recognizing cardiac arrest, performing high-quality chest compressions, understanding proper compression depth and rate, and how to assist until emergency responders arrive. 

RUN, HIDE, FIGHT Training 

• This training focuses on preparing individuals to respond to an active threat situation.
• Participants will learn situational awareness strategies, how to assess their environment quickly, evacuation planning, barricading techniques, communication during emergencies, and what to expect when law enforcement arrives.
•  Emphasis on mental preparedness, decision-making under stress, and practical actions that can increase survivability during critical incidents.

To provide flexibility, multiple training sessions are offered in both Zoom and in-person formats, except for the in-person CPR training sessions. All March sessions under the same title cover the same material.
