Life, and lifesaving, go on Marking return of campus activity, spring blood drive returns, collecting 165 pints As in-room quarantine ended and campus crackled with energy last week, dozens of Norwich University students, faculty and staff members marched into the Vermont National Guard Armory hoping to help save lives. On Feb. 25, the Center for Civic Engagement held its spring blood drive, partnering with the American Red Cross of Northern New England. Plumley Armory is serving as a five-days-a-week COVID-19 testing center this semester, having administered more than 11,000 COVID-19 tests since January. So, the blood drive moved across campus. As in the fall, Civic Scholars Kevin Sloan, a junior, Hadlee Wolfram, a sophomore and Aidan Grady, a freshman organized and ran it.
