The Southern Oklahoma Blood Institute worked with Southern Tech’s Student Senate to initiate a blood drive, February 20 from 9 am to 2:30 pm. Students and staff gave a total of 70 units which surpassed their goal.
Angeline Colley from Sulphur High School is a Graphic Design student at Southern Tech. This is her fifth time to donate. When asked why she’s giving today she said, “My uncle Bill told me to give and he’s old and wise and my role model so I try to give when I can.”
Andy Carter is a first year students from Sulphur in the Nurse Assisting program and it’s his third time to give. Carter said, “My plan is to be a phlebotomist while in college pursuing my nursing degree so I’m giving blood today because it’s helping me learn the process better.”
