Office of the President

Dear Clemson:

The 2006 Clemson-USC Blood Drive takes place next week – November 13 – 17.

Blood is urgently needed to alleviate seasonal shortages that occur around the holidays. This year, the National Marrow Donor Program will again participate, allowing donors the option of having their information added to the national Bone Marrow Registry if they choose. This year’s drive takes place next Monday through Friday from 10 am to 7 pm at the Hendrix Student Center, The Palmetto Ballroom and the Cooper Library.

This annual competition is one I would love to see Clemson win every year. We lead USC 12-9 in the 21-year-old tradition, but we have not won since 2000. Please consider doing something worthwhile that will also show your Tiger Pride. Give of yourself by becoming a blood donor and BEAT USC!

Sincerely,
James F. Barker, FAIA
President
