The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) is partnering with the American Red Cross for the fifth annual CNSE Blood Drive on Tuesday, July 2.

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Nearly 14 million units of red blood cells are used annually for blood transfusions. On any given day, about 38,000 units of red blood cells are needed to treat accident victims, children and adults undergoing surgery, and patients receiving treatment for cancer and other diseases.
