Saints Come Together for a Bloody Good Time

While attending the University of Saint Francis, all students are taught and expected to live the Franciscan way. Part of embracing this lifestyle means that we are expected to help people out whenever we can. People who need the help, those who are less fortunate than ourselves. 
The only issue with that being, Saint Francis didn't consider that those of us in college don't always have the means to give back due to student debt hanging over us. 
But there is another way to help give back! 
Start filling up on your garlic and cilantro because on Tuesday, September 6th, the University of Saint Francis is teaming up with the American Red Cross for a blood drive.
The best part is, you don't have to go to Dracula's castle to partake in giving blood, all you need to do is stop by the gymnasium at the Saint Clare campus which is located at 1550 Plainfield Road, anytime from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. .
Still confused on how you can get involved? Provided below is contact information so that any type of question can be answered! 
For an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org and search “60435” through the “Give Blood” link. You can save up to 15 minutes when you donate blood by using RapidPass. Visit [redcrossblood.org/RapidPass]redcrossblood.org/RapidPass for more information.

If you are an eligible type O, B - or A - donor, consider making a Power Red donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.

For more information, please visit redcrossblood.org.

So don't be a (blood) sucker, come on down and join us on September 6th for a bloody great time!

Starting on December 1, users will no longer be presented with an option to list their sexual orientation, their political views, their address, or their religious views on their personal profiles. Facebook did not provide an explanation for this decision. The decision was announced one week after Meta, the parent company of Facebook, fired 11,000 employees, 13% of its total workforce; whether or not these two events are correlated, however, remains unclear.

First Lion Electric School Bus in Joliet

 Noëllie Inard Credit: www.chicagotribune.com  On Wednesday, November 2nd, Lion Electric announced the end of the production of its first LionC zero-emission electric school bus at its Joliet factory. In May 2021, Lion Electric, a Canadian-based manufacturer of commercial vehicles, selected Joliet to hold its future US manufactory due to a growing demand for electric school buses in the United States. Lion Electric positioned itself to help school districts with the transition to electric buses with the help of the EPA Clean Bus Program which funded the project with $5 billion. The EPA Clean Bus Program is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a law that the Congress recently passed under President Joe Biden and which aimed to invest “ in [the] nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness,” according to the White House. The company’s efforts have paid off since they have now 700 electric vehicles on the road.       Lion Electric promised on January 2022...
