Campus Safety Week 2025: Stop the Bleed
In conjunction with the Middlebury Snowbowl Ski Patrol we are offering a Stop the Bleed training session to equip participants with the skills needed to recognize and respond to life-threatening bleeding emergencies. This hands-on course teaches how to apply direct pressure, pack wounds, and use a tourniquet—critical techniques that can help sustain life before emergency responders arrive. No prior medical experience is necessary, and all are encouraged to attend. Empower yourself to make a difference in an emergency—learn to Stop the Bleed.
