Spearheaded by Meredith Sacks, the Student Council orchestrated a blood drive on campus last Friday, the 13th. The Council had been promoting the drive for two weeks prior to the event, using skits, posters and other promotional materials provided by the Blood Centers of the Pacific, our partner for the event. In the end, a number of students proudly gave blood. Sam Klitsner ('11), arm bandaged, remarked that he had made sure to eat steak and spinach the night before -- and good that he did, because more than a few willing donors were turned away for failing to meet the prescribed levels of iron and/or platelets. Ryan Williams and Vladimir Mironshteyn (both '11) were two more life-savers that day. Thanks to all who made the effort!
