Fire & Safety Student Organizations
The purpose of the Fire and Safety student professional clubs and associations is to promote the advancement of the students’ professional and educational development. This goal is accomplished by close working relationships between professionals in the areas of Fire Protection and Safety, and the faculty, Alumni, and students who are members of the organizations.
Students are encouraged to participate in one or both of the organizations.
