President – Rino Satorxs5071 Volunteer of the Month This is someone who we've all gotten to know quite well. As a senior he joined our club at the end of last semester, but it feels like he's been a part of our club forever. The dancers and the THON chairs can vouch that he was a tremendous help at THON keeping the dancers awake and our stands lively. He was one of the few who went on the last canning trip, he helped make dancer and THON Express posters, he performed at our Open Mic Night, he's a newly trained OSC, he's taught us many games like Liar's Dice and Speed UNO, etc... He's basically everywhere and anywhere we ask him to be. Thank you for all that you do for our club!! February's Volunteer of the Month is...

OSC – Georgia Perryglp5016 On-Site Coordinator (OSC)Leadership Position at Blood Drives OSC stands for On-Site-Coordinator. This is the person at the blood drives who delegates jobs to the volunteers and helps ensure the drive is meeting its goal. This is a great leadership opportunity. If you are interested in becoming an OSC this semester please contact Georgia Perry, at glp5016@psu.edu. You need to have either been an active member last semester or have obtained at least 7 hours of volunteering at a BLOOD DRIVE this semester to begin training. New OSC training date/ dates will begin in late March before our spring campaign depending on interest. *Looking at maybe having one after the meeting on 3/28? *Be on the look-out for announcements about this!
