The We Are Blood Drive will be hosted tomorrow, Oct. 29, in the New Lecture Hall from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. Appointments are still available, and when donating blood with We Are Blood, you can directly support local patients at hospitals in Central Texas. In order to donate you must be at least 17 years old and weigh at least 115 pounds. Student absences from class to donate blood will be excused and all donors will be rewarded for their good deed with a T-Shirt.

On the day of the drive bring a photo ID to your appointment and show up a few minutes early to sign in.
