Being cheeky could save a life: get swabbed for the National Marrow Donor Program

If you are between the ages of 18 to 44, please come to the Be The Match® marrow donor registry event Dec. 6, 2017, noon-4 p.m., outside of the University Union Ballroom. A simple cheek swab is used to add your tissue type to the registry.

The President’s EDGE – a program originally created to help UNT employees earn their GED – is adding a five-week course for English speakers to learn basic conversational Spanish.

The free course will be offered every Wednesday for five weeks, Sept. 27 through Oct. 25, noon to 1 p.m. Space is limited and registration is required. Register by contacting the President’s EDGE office at 940-565-4320. Learn more about the program.
