UW-Whitewater’s Student Activities and Involvement and the American Red Cross teamed up to host a blood drive on campus on November 21, 2024. The blood drive was held in the Esker Dining Hall in rooms 119 and 120. Students were welcomed to register beforehand or to walk-in.

Our photographer CJ registered to donate her blood for the first time. The process started with getting her finger pricked to determine her hemoglobin levels, then followed by a questionnaire regarding her medical history. She was then brought next door to start the donation process. After a little more than ten minutes, she was bandaged up and given some refreshments to help with the recovery.

After the whole process, she received a pair of socks for her donation!
