Blood donations are crucial to improving global and community health. Our goal is to raise awareness about the importance of donating blood.

Red Cross blood drives are held throughout the year. To prepare for the drives, students advertise physically on campus as well as digitally through list-serves and social media. An important part of Red Cross is talking to individual donors about the benefits of donating blood and assuaging their concerns. On the days of the blood drives, students volunteer at the drive, assisting with signing in donors and monitoring them after donation.
