(Continued from Page 4) The SAAC committee has formed a partnership with the Sport Science Institute to promote CPR and automated external defibrillator training among college athletes. The goal is to have at least half of the Division II conference SAACs to complete training in the coming year. Division II has dedicated a portion of its Foundation for the Future funding to assist member schools in adopting Helper Helper, an app that connects athletes to community engagement opportunities and helps them and their schools track their hours. SAAC is looking to spread awareness of this tool and encourage schools to integrate it into their athletic programs.
