Outside O’Connor Hall Saturday morning, members of Santa Clara University Emergency Medical Services applied fake blood and makeup onto fellow students. They were preparing for their annual Mass Casualty Incident training drill, and those fellow students were preparing to be their patients. The drill's purpose is to test their ability to manage a large-scale medical disaster on campus. In a mass casualty incident affecting campus—such as an earthquake, fire or shooting—SCU EMS alongside Campus Safety likely would be the first on the scene, although they are limited in what medical care they can provide. In the end, they extricated all 24 patients in less than an hour. SCU EMS Assistant Director Claire Richart ’27 congratulated the EMS team on their performance in the simulation, saying it was “pretty good” during the group’s debrief. All but one patient was diagnosed and tagged correctly. 📝: @ninaglickphoto 📷: @ninaglickphoto

From bold patchwork pieces and animal eye masks to the elegance of silky dresses, the third annual Fluidity Fashion show promises a versatile arrangement of clothing. The show, which will be held in the de Saisset Museum, features nine various collections, each created by designers and stylists with a unique vision for the show. Self-expression through clothing is a recurring theme throughout the show. Darren Liu ’27 explained how modeling in the show over the last three years has helped with their own self-discovery. “They put me in a skirt last year,” said Liu. “I wasn’t used to that, so I kind of stood out of my comfort zone.” Prior to modeling in the fluidity fashion show, Liu shared that they didn’t feel very comfortable dressing “out there” and this show helped him find himself. “I knew that people I knew would come, but I was like, screw it,” said Liu. Show coordinator Caley Dever ’26 speaks about how she’s witnessed members of the Fluidity Fashion community grow more confident with time. “When you have that sense of self identity and self security, you radiate,” said Dever. “That’s how it was for me, and that’s how I’ve seen the pattern repeat around me.” The Fluidity Fashion Show will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 8.
