This project is as yet UN-NAMED.

This project is intended to create a full ride scholarship program for students who commit to 4 years of Emergency Search and Rescue/Disaster Response.

In exchange for room, board, training, and tuition (with a possibility of having a small stipend) students will commit to year round-on call emergency response (under an as yet undeveloped structure).

In order to make it into the school, each student must successfully complete their "boot camp" during which time they will become; capable of unit cohesion during field operations/responses through effective communication and command structure, hazard materials certified, wilderness first responder certified, emergency search and rescue certified, wilderness fire fighter certified, life guard certified, CPR certified, and outdoors/survival skill certified.

These student will undergo a 10-12 week "boot camp" during which they will become successfully trained in all of the above. Without doing so they will be unable to enter into their academic class.
Upon completion of "boot camp" students will be given a room of their own, they will choose their educational department, and enter into their schooling.

Student will complete 12 credits a quarter + 4 credits a quarter worth of work at the school (this will ensure that the school always has more than enough staff to operate smoothly. Students seeking a BS or BA will serve 4 years while a person seeking a Dual BS/BA will serve 5.

3 credits will be their emergency response, 3 credits will be field internship in their field of study, and 6 credits of independent learning in their field of choice.

Students will attend class all year (4 quarters)

Faculty will be field leads.

ALL faculty, staff, and students will live on Campus. This is essential to our effectiveness as an emergency response unit.

Our 1 weekend a month/two weeks a year will focus mostly on providing trainings for programs, schools, and adolescent youth. This will help the school generate funding as well as providing a richer learning and professional development environment for our students.
