Core principles at the School Fire Science & EMS are leadership and sacrifice, and when students take the initiative to get involved in the community for good causes, they are recognized for their service.
Fire Science students Ben Reina (Naperville, IL) and Terry O’Haire (Belvidere, IL) volunteer their time on weekend evenings at War Memorial Hospital. Along with Trent McAlary (Jenison, MI), these gentlemen have started a mentoring program for all freshmen and sophomores within Criminal Justice, Fire Science & EMS.
Student initiatives such as this help create sustained service in the local community. They also serve as examples to fellow colleagues and students, showing how volunteerism is important. They also show the community the type of students we have in our School and at LSSU.
