Where we are today

Today, Five Quad consists of 70 members who are dedicated students volunteering their time to keep the service running, responsive, and free 24/7 while school is in session. They are overseen by Medical Director Dr. Waldrop, EMS Advisor Harjup Singh, and Faculty Advisor Elizabeth Conrad. 

They run 2 box ambulances and a fly car, providing BLS services for the campus community and surrounding town in addition to special event coverage and various public education efforts. Most of the membership are certified NYS EMTs. There are currently 15 Members in Training (MITs) this semester (Fall 2023).
