UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Engineering Graduate Student Council (EGSC) and the Society of Women Engineers have organized an American Red Cross blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 21 in Kunkle Lounge in Hammond Building on the University Park campus.

A Google form has been created for those interested in making an appointment. Donors can check appointment availability by clicking on the link at the top of the form.

Brittany Banik, bioengineering graduate student and EGSC blood drive coordinator, said the student groups set a goal of 64 donors for the drive, based on the need for blood in this area. 

"One donation could save up to three lives," she noted.

Questions about the drive can be directed to Banik at blb316@psu.edu.
