Blood Drive
TTU’s Student Nurses’ Association is in partnership with Blood Assurance to host a blood drive here on campus on September 8th. Due to COVID-19 precautions, it will no longer be held in the Pride Room. Instead, Blood Assurance will be parking two buses on the quad that students can visit to give blood. It is recommended that students willing to donate blood register online prior to September 8th to save time, but they can register you on scene as well. We had a great turnout last semester to our blood drive and we look forward to seeing the same energy from our students this year!
