2. EMS Ready Campus Award: This award is designed to recognize excellence in emergency management and disaster preparedness of collegiate EMS organizations.

3. Heart Safe Campus Award: This is awarded to campuses who promote community awareness of the potential for saving the lives of sudden cardiac arrest victims through the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and increased public access to defibrillation.
