The Public Safety Professionals Club is an emerging club that aims to help students serve their community while developing leadership skills.
Students who wish to take the skills they’ve learned in class and wish to apply those skills to real-world applications should consider joining the Public Safety Professionals Club. The club leadership board delicately balances fun club activities with Club Goals centered around leadership development and community service.
Those interested in learning about what PSPC has to offer, the club will host first aid training Tuesday, Nov 12. Club meetings are scheduled every two weeks. Meetings are located in room H-262 and last between 2:15 and 3:15 pm.
With most of the club’s senior leadership graduating last year, the club’s new leaders had their work set out for them.
After establishing the basics needed to run a club, the club leadership board is eager to attract new members and host fun activities. The club has a balance of leisure activities and student engagement activities.
Club Treasurer Andrew Bobby 18, a freshman from Frederick, wants to develop his leadership skills and give back to his community.
The newest face on the leadership board, Bobby said the main goal of the PSPC is “to spread, build, and preserve awareness and knowledge in the community through service.”
Bobby went on to explain that club life introduces him to new people to “build connections that can help later in life.”
“The club is open to any major, and it’s a great opportunity to make lifelong connections within the club and greater community and get some service hours,” Bobby said.
The club is sponsored by Professor John Packard, a retired 25-year veteran of The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office.
“The PSPC offers students an opportunity to give back to the community, and do something a little bit bigger than themselves,” he said. “ The club also offers students leadership roles which is a way for students to ‘fill that gap’ between education and employment.”
