Inside Iowa State: Iowa State University

March 17, 2003

Good turnout

The Iowa State blood drive, the largest student-run drive in the nation, had a successful run last week at the Memorial Union, with 1,925 potential donors showing up. The blood drive, held fall and spring semesters, traditionally attracts 150 to 200 more donors than the next largest student-run blood drive.

Amanda Hall, a junior from Ames, also is shown donating blood. Photo by Bob Elbert.
