⁉️ If someone you love needed CPR right now to save their life, would you know what to do ⁉️

❤️ This week is National CPR & AED Awareness Week, and it's a powerful reminder that knowing what to do in an emergency can save a life.

Did you know that approximately 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home? That means if you're ever called upon to perform CPR, it will most likely be for someone you know and love - a parent, spouse, child, family member, friend, or neighbor.

At South University, many of our students, alumni, faculty, and healthcare professionals are trained in CPR and AED use because every second matters when a cardiac emergency occurs.

The truth is simple: You could be the difference between life and death for someone you care about.

💭 We want to hear from you!

➡️ Are you CPR certified?
➡️ Have you ever had to use your CPR training in a real-life situation?
➡️ What advice or tips would you share with someone considering CPR certification?

Drop your experiences, encouragement, or favorite CPR tips in the comments below. Your story could inspire someone to learn a skill that saves a life. ❤️

🎓 Welcome, Graduation Season! 🎓

The moment so many of our students have worked toward is finally here.

Over the next several weeks, South University campuses and Online Programs will celebrate the accomplishments of graduates whose journeys have been marked by perseverance, dedication, sacrifice, and determination. From late nights studying and balancing work, family, military service, and life’s many responsibilities, to overcoming challenges and achieving personal milestones, this moment represents so much more than a diploma.

Graduation is a celebration of every step taken, every obstacle overcome, and every goal achieved along the way.

To our graduates: We are incredibly proud of all you have accomplished and honored to have been part of your journey. Your hard work, resilience, and commitment have brought you to this milestone, and we cannot wait to see the impact you make in your professions, communities, and beyond.

As commencement ceremonies begin across South University, we look forward to celebrating each and every one of you.
