The Southern Tier's campus is no stranger to violent incidents, with three student-reported deaths in 2019.

It's training you'd think only medical professionals need. Nicholas Dadario is a senior at Binghamton University. A neuroscientist major, Nicholas is bringing his passion to help others from his hometown to campus.

"With a bunch of people in my household, the kids I live with, we all got together and I asked them if they could help me with this big program," said Dadario.

The senior brought the idea to his classmates last fall and his friends bought in right away.

"I thought it was instantly an incredible idea. Obviously you see on the news, you know there's so many things going on with mass casualties where hemorrhaging control is really, really vital in those situations," said Associate Researcher, Nicholas Shleiwet.

Stop The Bleed Course is designed to provide life-saving skills in moments of tragedy.

In 2018, two Binghamton students were murdered within five weeks of each other, making this training all the more important.

"In Binghamton alone there is a higher proportion of active shooter scenarios. So on one end, back in West Chester I wanted to do this program to improve my community and make a safe community. I realized Binghamton is also my community away from home," said Dadario.

In just more than a month and a half of training, 500 students have been trained. Want to learn more on getting trained? Click here.
