Aaron is an extraordinary instructor for EOU. He designed the Multiculturalism in Emergency Services course, FSA 345, which Fire Service Administration, Emergency Medical Services Administration (required), and non-fire/EMS administration majors can take at EOU to satisfy the school’s Difference, Power and Discrimination requirements. This is a 5 quarter-credit hour course. In addition to the weekly reading assignments, tests and discussions; the students complete an outside reading and essay writing assignment from FEMA’s Whole Community Approach and describe how the emergency services agency of their choosing (police, fire and rescue service, emergency medical service, emergency management, 911, military, and civil emergency services) can plan for and assist in a disaster response to each individual group. The 10 groups are grocery stores, hardware stores, gas stations, neighborhoods, schools, homeless, new immigrants, hospitals, nursing homes, and religious organizations. Last the students complete a major term paper assignment in which they identify a multicultural and emergency services problem/challenge that they will conduct research on, conduct two interviews and make four recommendations to mitigate the problem/challenge. One online review of Aaron’s course stated “this was the best course that I took in college”, I highly recommend Aaron for his subject matter expertise, dedication to his students and excellent course design!
