Gift of Life Drive

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Join Alpha Phi Omega (APO) at the KC 1st floor on Friday, November 15th, between 3-6 p.m., for a Gift of Life drive. We are asking students and community members to stop by and donate oral swabs to help find plasma/platelet/bone marrow matches for those in need of life-saving transplants.

It’s a quick, painless process that could make all the difference for someone battling terminal illness, and every swab increases the chances of a patient finding their perfect match, bringing hope to individuals and families awaiting transplants.

APO thanks you in advance for your generosity and commitment to making a lasting impact, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Get a FREE U.S. Passport

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Are you a US citizen without a passport (students, staff, or faculty)? Get a FREE passport thanks to generous alumni, a value of $180.

Why get a US passport now? It is good for 10 years, and allows you to travel to up 188 countries without a visa. Whether you plan to travel soon or not, having a US passport is a powerful priviledge that gives you the option to leave the United States for travel, work, or fun.

Getting started. Visit the Albion Explorer Free Passport webpage or meet with Cristen Casey in Vulgamore 308 to get started. All you need to bring is an original copy of your US birth certificate.
