Statement of Free Expression

FGCU Alert

There is no emergency on campus. FGCU is hosting a Disaster Day Interprofessional Simulation event Friday, November 21, at the Cohen Student Union and Recreation Field 1 with regional partners in the healthcare and public safety sectors. This is a drill – a simulation involving approximately 950 participants – where more than 270 students are learning how best to assess, diagnose, treat and care for patients in a high-pressure emergency scenario. Even though it may look and sound like an emergency during the training exercise, Disaster Day is just another example of how FGCU is providing a transformative, learner-centered education to ensure our students are workforce ready.
