How Safe Is Your College Student?

Each year, hundreds of college students die or are seriously injured from preventable accidents on college campuses. Yet, colleges aren’t required to track or report any of these events. Let’s change this and save the lives of our children.

The Corey Act Will Save Lives

College Operational Reporting of Emergencies Involving Teens & Young Adults

This bill honors Corey Hausman, who died from what began as a preventable accident, just 15 days into his freshman year in college.

On September 11th, 2018, Corey was severely injured in a skateboard accident in Boulder Colorado where he was attending the University of Colorado as a freshman. He passed away from his injuries on September 12th, 2018.

There is no national data collection for accidents on campus like there is for crimes and fires. The COREY Safety Act WILL prevent injuries and save lives among the most cherished people in our lives…our children, by providing for the collection of uniform national statistics on serious bodily injuries and deaths resulting from unintentional injuries on campus. This bill honors Corey Hausman, who died from what began as a preventable accident on September 11, 2018, just 15 days into his freshman year.

Nanette and Joe Hausman

Joe and Nanette’s son Corey died from what began as a preventable injury on a campus pathway just 15 days into his freshman year at the University of Colorado Boulder. Shockingly, this was the third student death that semester. Discoveries about how unprepared most families are for emergencies and how college safety is defined, measured, and managed left Nanette in disbelief. Equally concerning was the level of emergency care provided to many students. She is driven to help colleges and injury prevention professionals acquire the data and resources needed to minimize the risk of injury and loss of life. She is equally committed to provide tools to prevent other families from living with the devastating loss hers does, every single day.
