Hofstra University worked with Long Island Blood Services to host a blood
drive. At Hofstra’s drive, held in the
Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, 375 donors were registered and over
350 pints of blood were collected. The Hofstra
community worked together to encourage people to donate blood in response to
the great need for blood New York and Long Island are seeing after Super Storm
Sandy.
“It was great to see the
overwhelming response to the blood drive last week. I’m not surprised
however, as Hofstra students, staff and faculty are very philanthropic and
always looking for ways to help out others in need. From donating
blood, to bringing in supplies, or volunteering to help in the recovery efforts
of Hurricane Sandy, the Hofstra community stepped up! Hofstra Pride
at its best!” - Peter Libman, Dean of Students.
