Students Today

Giving blood is an opportunity to give to the community in a very real way. Even though the process is simple and doesn't require much time at all, the fact is that without regular blood donors, there are people in our community who wouldn't be alive. Please join Student Life, Student Alumni Ambassadors and the Kentucky Blood Center to give back to your fellow Kentuckians! Appointments are preferred, walk-ins welcomed. Schedule your appointment by clicking "More On This Announcement." All donors will receive a free T-shirt (while supplies last)!
