American Red Cross Blood Drive

Special Event

The need for blood is constant, but only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly! Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Blood is essential to help patients survive surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. This lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.

The Bear Lake Needs Assessment Documentation & Visualization Project, led by assistant professor Jared Ragland and USU photography students, captures the intersection of Bear Lake's natural ecology and human use through documentary photography.

Setting the Tone for Semester-Long Student Participation by Changing up the First Day of Class

Workshop/Training | Sparkshops

Do you sometimes find students reluctant to participate in your course in spite of your best efforts and charming personality? Come attend this Sparkshop to learn a way to start the semester in a way that sets a positive tone for your course and engenders student buy-in from the beginning by collaboratively establishing classroom norms on the first day of class. (I know and I get it, class time is a precious commodity. In my experience, this practice has paid off in spades throughout the semester.)
