Campus blood drive set for Sept. 17-18

The next campus blood drive will be Sept. 17-18 in Farnsworth Pavilion, Ley Student Center, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Rice participates with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center as a “Commit for Life” partner. Through this relationship, Rice sponsors four blood drives annually to help meet the needs of more than 220 health care institutions in the 24-county Texas Gulf Coast region.

The process of giving blood takes about an hour. Appointments are encouraged and will be given priority, but walk-ins are welcome.

Make an appointment by visiting the Community Involvement Center’s Web site, http://cic.rice.edu/blooddrives/.
