Why: Hey everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that Duke Red Cross Blood Services is hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, May 5, 2009, from 11:30am-4:30pm. The drive will take place in the Bryan Center Von Canon B&C rooms.

Because most of the undergraduates will have already left by this date, your contribution is that much more important for the success of this blood drive! If you would like to donate blood, please make an appointment to do so at duke.givesblood.org. (Unfortunately, if you gave blood during the last series of blood drives in the Bryan Center late March, you are not eligible to donate again. However, if you are staying in the area for the summer, we will be hosting a drive in July! More information on that soon…)

Just as an extra perk, we will be handing out free t-shirts at the drive☺.

Thank you and I wish you the best of luck with everything!

Why:

The Nutrition and Dietetics Interest Group will be holding an event in Nutritional Self-Care for Healthcare Professionals.  Our guest who will be speaking on this topic is Franca Alphin (MPH, RD, LDN), who is a staff nutritionist here at Duke.  This event will primarily focus on helping healthcare students understand what their nutritional needs are and how to meet them.  Although this event is geared towards healthcare professionals, anyone is welcome to join.  

This information session is designed to help healthcare students understand their own nutritional health and self-care as it pertains to becoming part of the healthcare community.  Examples of specific topics that may be covered: how to eat healthy while in the hospital, how to eat healthy on a budget, the benefits and harms of nutritional supplements, the importance of exercise, and how to be sure that what you are eating is providing you with what you need.
