At Penn State DuBois, this week’s freshmen seminar lesson could prove to be lifesaving. Officer Cody Haag is spending his week educating students on the dangers of alcohol and drugs, ways to avoid negative situations, how to recognize others in distress and what to do in an emergency.
Officer Haag and a student volunteer demonstrate the recovery position to place someone unconscious in until help arrives.
Haag began his lesson in the classroom educating students on how to recognize dangerous or life-threatening situations, steps to take to assist, Penn State's policies and the amnesty law in Pennsylvania.
According to Haag, the main goal of these seminars is to educate students on how to be safe and what to do in an alcohol or drug related emergency. A volunteer from the class helped officer Haag demonstrate the proper recovery position to put someone in if they are intoxicated and unconscious to prevent them from aspirating.
