Clemson University adds Trauma Kits to Campus

Clemson University has taken an extra step to make sure the campus is safe if an active shooter situation ever happens. They’ve added new trauma kits all across campus in case anyone is hurt during a shooting or other traumatic event. Thanks to a fund of more than $35,000, the university’s student government was able to purchase 34 trauma kits to help stop serious bleeding during an attack. There are 12 smaller kits within each large trauma kit, and each comes equipped with a tourniquet and a bleeding control bandage. There are currently four trauma kits on campus in the Hendrix Student Center and the Robert M. Cooper Library. The remaining kits are expected to be installed in Brackett Hall, the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, Fike Recreation Center and Tillman Hall. Read more at www.clemson.edu.
