The Corps of Cadets is hosting a three-day blood drive Jan. 27-29 in the multipurpose room in the Graduate Life Center.

The blood drive will be open each day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage. Snow and ice conditions across the country have caused the cancellation of about 400 blood drives in 2025, resulting in about 10,000 donations going uncollected.

Schedule your appointment to donate blood or red blood cells by using the sponsor code "Corps.” Prepare for your donation by bringing your ID, eating well, and staying hydrated. Donors will receive a $15 e-gift card while supplies last.
