Members of the ��ӽ紫ý campus community are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help save lives by participating in an upcoming blood drive.

Date: Tuesday, Sept. 15

The need for blood donors is always critical, but the need significantly increases during times of public health crises. According to Mississippi Blood Services, less than 4 percent of Mississippians donate blood on a regular basis. The organization, which supplies more than 200 units of much-needed blood products daily to hospitals across the state, is currently experiencing a severe shortage.

Mississippi ��ӽ紫ý University is responding to this rising concern by asking faculty, staff and students to be heroes and give at the upcoming blood drive. Together, the ��ӽ紫ý community can help boost the state's current supply and ensure patients in need have access to adequate treatment.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged.
