When will you or a family member need a lifesaving blood transfusion? It's not a question most people think about. It's not an answer you know. That is, until the unexpected happens to someone you love and they need blood to survive.
Longtime UNC-Greensboro librarian Mark Schumacher didn't plan on needing blood when he started donating in 1970. But after years of giving blood, Schumacher experienced a sudden illness in 2004. He was bleeding internally and lost half the blood in his body. During his 11 days in the hospital, Schumacher received 14 pints of blood. Fourteen units of blood from generous, volunteer donors whom Schumacher never met, but he would become eternally grateful.
Mark Schumacker recognized for his years of donation
"There is no way I can thank any of those folks, but I can tell people my story, in hopes that it will inspire them to give blood, not just once at a UNC-Greensboro drive, but as an ongoing activity in their lives," said Schumacher.
UNCG-Spartans can help save a life-just like Schumacher's-by rolling up their sleeve April 17, 2012 at the Elliott University Center Blood Drive. The blood drive will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Cone Ballroom.
NOTE: Those who come out to donate will receive a free t-shirt and be entered to win a $1,000 gift card. To commemorate Earth Month, a tree will be planted in honor of every ten blood donors.

The staff of Elliott University Center would like to congratulate Drew Sharpe, Manager of Technical Services, for his recent UNCG Staff Star award. Drew works tirelessly to make sure that the audio/visual components in the EUC meeting rooms are up and running, and that all equipment is in good working order.
When asked what he likes most about his job, he commented that it was the variety of events and day-to-day challenge that comes from setting up those events in Elliott University Center.
Thanks for all you do Drew!
Elliott University Center (EUC) has been literally and symbolically identified as UNCG's center since it opened in 1953. It is a familiar home base for students, faculty and staff; a meeting place for activities, events, and ceremonies; and a greeting place for campus visitors. Located at a key pedestrian crossroads on campus, the EUC is convenient for most of the UNCG community at some time every day.
