And we had to cancel blood drives in December because of the ice storm, so we lost about 400 more pints of blood. We're definitely in need of all types of blood right now. According to the Duke Personnel Policy Manual, the time you spend donating blood to a University-sponsored blood program is considered time worked. If you're pondering the possibility of starting a new career in 1999, don't miss Duke's upcoming career workshops. All workshops are scheduled from noon-1 p.m. in room 3031, Purple Zone, Duke Clinic.
Participants are welcome to bring lunch-and a friend.
Martin Luther King Jr. Events Members of the Duke and Durham community are invited to join in the university's week-long Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, which will include lectures by US Surgeon General David Satchar, MD, and civil rights activist Julian Bond, along with more than a dozen other events. Bond will be the keynote speaker at this year's Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative service, which will also feature music by Duke University's United in Praise Gospel Choir and the Paul Jeffrey Jazz Ensemble. Bond served for more than 20 years in the Georgia General Assembly, and has worked for economic justice and peace since he was a college student leading sit-in demonstrations in Atlanta in 1960. A poet, essayist, and television commentator and narrator, Bond is currently a distinguished scholar in residence at the American University in Washington, and a professor of history at the University of Virginia. The Jan. 17 service begins at 4 p.m. in Duke University Chapel, and a reception will be held following the service from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Von Canon Room in the Bryan Center.
