Volunteers needed for 糖心Vlog传媒LR move-in day]]> The University of Arkansas at Little Rock campus will be abuzz with activity as students and their families return Saturday, Aug. 13, for move-in day. The Office of Campus Living (formerly Student Housing) is seeking 糖心Vlog传媒LR student and employee volunteers to assist the 1,400 students who will move in that day. Marc Glidden, director of campus living, said it is important for students and parents to remain flexible during the move-in process. 鈥淲e have 1,400 students moving in on one day, so it can be confusing. If everyone can be flexible, parents can sit back and enjoy the experience of their students going to college,鈥� Glidden said. 鈥淚f you forget to buy something, there is no need to panic. There are plenty of stores nearby to get those last-minute items for your student.鈥� Check-in for students with last names A-L will be from 8 a.m. to noon, while students with last names M-Z can check in 1-5 p.m. Food and refreshments will be available outside the Trojan Grill. Campus police will direct traffic. Campus Living staff members are also building maps that will guide traffic flow and instruct families where they can drop off belongings as close as possible to the student鈥檚 assigned building. Check-in locations include the first floor lobbies of West Hall and East Hall, the Commons Great Room for North Hall or South Hall, and the University Village Clubhouse. A free dinner for parents will be held at 5 p.m. in the Diamond Caf茅 in the Donaghey Student Center with a raffle for box tickets to the Homecoming and Parents鈥� Day basketball games.

Registration is open to anyone ages 18 to 44, the age group from which 90 percent of marrow donor matches originate. Those who register will be placed on the registry, a global bone marrow registry operated by the National Marrow Donor Program. The first 300 people who register will receive free T-shirts. The event will also feature free food, ice cream, inflatables, and a DJ. A simple swab of the cheek is all it takes to help save the life of someone with leukemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell anemia. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just a cause that we really care about,鈥� said Adam Ness, a sophomore systems engineering major and Donaghey Scholar who is organizing the drive with Shayna Underwood, a freshman environmental engineering major, and three other members of the Donaghey Scholars Program. 鈥淚t鈥檚 so disheartening to know that the cure for people with blood diseases like leukemia and lymphoma is out there and in somebody who isn鈥檛 registered. People die just because potential donors haven鈥檛 been added to the registry,鈥� Ness said. Once registered, only one in approximately 540 people become donors. Most matches are based on age and ancestry. Since patients are most likely to match someone who shares their ancestry, members of underrepresented populations can have difficulty finding matches. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important for people of diverse ethnic backgrounds to be involved,鈥� Ness said. 鈥淭here is a huge need in the black, Hispanic, Latino, and Asian, especially anyone of South Asian descent, communities. Those groups are not very well represented.鈥� The event is sponsored by the Donaghey Scholars Program, Student Government Association, and the Office of Student Housing.
