The program hosts a campus blood drive every Fall for the American Red Cross before their critical season of need.

"Without the program being designed in a way to benefit working parents, I would never have been able to get my master’s degree and become a certified teacher. As a single mom the MST program allowed me to work full time, making an income to support my family while I was completing my degree."
