The USI community has two opportunities to donate blood on campus in November:
- The American Red Cross blood drive is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, November 3. Click here to schedule an appointment.
- Versiti Blood Center of Indiana blood drive is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, November 10. Click here to schedule an appointment.
Both blood drives will be held in Carter Hall in the University Center.
Giving blood is a quick, simple way to help others. The donation process from the time you arrive to the time you leave is about an hour, but the actual donation time is only about 8-10 minutes on average. Here’s how to have a great experience:
- Get a good night’s sleep.
- Eat a healthy meal at least one hour before donating.
- Be well hydrated before your donation.
- Make sure you bring verification of your identity–a driver’s license, donor ID card or government-issued ID card–showing your name and birthdate.
