Brock hosted a mobile blood donation clinic in the Ian Beddis gymnasium on September 21. The clinic was the first of four planned for the academic year, setting the tone for months to come.
Outside of the gym, a trio of volunteers greeted and oriented potential donors before directing them to the clinic.
“Lots of students are able to donate but many don’t know we’re here. I really wish we could reach more students,” said Emma Schmid, who was a volunteer. “We get a lot of faculty who come and donate, which is great, and it would be great to get more students.”
According to Tammy Maroudas, the Canadian Blood Services territory manager for St. Catharines and surrounding areas, participation in the clinic was on par with mobile clinics held at Brock historically.
