University Ambulance Service Alumni Award Endowment Fund |
|
The Penn State Emergency Medical Services Alumni Interest Group has resolved to create an endowed award to support Penn State students at University Park who serve the University and local community in emergency medical services. For over 30 years, Penn State students have served the local emergency medical services system while they attended school. Students have served University Ambulance Service and the Office of Emergency Medical Services as ambulance attendants, Emergency Medical Technicians, paramedics, dispatchers, interns, work study, and instructors. Additionally, students have helped staff ambulances throughout Centre County including Centre LifeLink EMS (formerly Alpha Community Ambulance Service), Bellefonte EMS, Moshannon Valley EMS, Penns Valley EMS, Pleasant Gap Fire Company Ambulance, Port Matilda EMS, and as paramedic assistants with Mount Nittany Medical Center (formerly Centre Community Hospital). Many also serve their hometown ambulance services. As alumni, we realize the importance of this service learning opportunity in developing professional skills and leadership abilities in students while they serve the community. We invite contributions to this fund to help promote opportunities and provide for recognition awards for Penn State students who volunteer and work for University Health Services Office of Emergency Medical Services. Our initial goal is to raise $10,000 to endow this award. To make a tax deductible contribution please mail your check made payable to “Penn State” to The Pennsylvania State University, One Old Main, University Park PA 16802-1500. Please indicate on your check or cover letter “SXXUA, pledge #3153424.” You can also make contributions on line at the University Development web page.
