�ǿմ�ý will host a Life Share Blood Drive on Tuesday, April 15th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Student Union Building Room 101 (SUB 101). The NTCC community is invited to roll up their sleeves and help us reach our new goal of 25 donations!

As part of �ǿմ�ý’s Mardi Gras Madness celebration, the Office of Student Development hosted its first-ever Mardi Gras Sock Drive—and the campus community delivered in a big way.

Thanks to the generosity of students, staff, and campus organizations, 233 pairs of new socks were collected for Greenhill Villas of Mount Pleasant, a local care facility. Socks are one of the most requested yet often overlooked items in such facilities, and this donation will help bring much-needed comfort and warmth to residents.
