The blood drive is set for Sept. 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the fieldhouse. Students interested in participating in the drive can sign up during their lunches at the main cafeteria or Greyhound Station.
According to nurse Sharon Murray, donors have to be at least 17 years of age, weigh 110 pounds and meet other health requirements. However, students who are 16 years old can also donate blood if their parent or guardian signs a consent form.
Victor Obasaju, senator and junior, said that when students sign up, they can select a time at which they will donate the blood. Then, they will receive a card, which will also serve as a pass, with their chosen appointment time.
Each student will donate one pint of blood. All the donations will go to the Indiana Blood Center.
Students are encouraged to sign up for the upcoming blood drive. Obasaju said, “When you participate in the blood drive, you are helping save someone’s life. This is a small sacrifice in helping somebody with a greater need.”
