Red Cross hosting blood drive on BC campus May 5th
The next blood drive will be held on
Wednesday, May 5th, between the hours
of 9:30 and 1:45 in the Reserve Dining
Room.
This region continues to be in critical
need of all blood types. Please consider
this give of life.
It takes courage and commitment to
donate blood and I encourage everyone to
do this if you are able.
If you donate, you will be entered into
a drawing for a chance to win a cruise for
two.
Please respond to this email or call (884-
8244) to reserve a time to donate blood. It
takes about an hour for the entire process
and I am signing people up in 15 minute
increments between the above hours.
I usually have no volunteers during this
drive, as it is the first day of exams, but
welcome any help. Thank you!
Senators show appreciation for club advisors
by Jennifer Nyman
Contributor
Brevard College is extremely lucky to
have great faculty members who take time
to support the many clubs on campus. All
advisors are appreciated, however; one
faculty member that does an outstanding
job and deserves to be recognized is Dee
Dasburg.
She is the advisor of not one, but three
clubs on campus. These clubs are the Peer
Health Advocate Team (PH AT), FCA, and
Ninpo Taijutsu.
When asking Dee why she is involved
with all of these clubs she says, “I love
working directly with students! In advising
these clubs, I can support students in
interests that are important to them as well
as help develop leadership skills in current
and future club officers. I love that we
have so many great clubs on campus and
am grateful for all the other faculty and
staff advisors
who support
these clubs and
organizations.”
Club advisor
appreciation is a
senator project
by Chris Dixon
and Jennifer
Nyman. Their
goal is to
make sure the
advisors that
are actively
involved in
clubs know
how much
the students
appreciate it.
If we did
not have help
from faculty our
clubs would not
be as successful
as they are
today.
