Join us for the Lifeline Initiative meeting where we will discuss our upcoming events, introduce our Executive Committee, and gather member feedback. The Lifeline is a student-based group at UTM, founded in Summer 2010, focused on raising awareness about the need for blood and stem cell donations. We encourage students and their families to become lifelong donors through various clinics and fundraising activities. This meeting is an opportunity to learn about our member expectations, commitments, and available benefits while we plan our future events together.
