Ivey Honoured By Canadian Blood Services
Canadian Blood Services has selected the Richard Ivey School of Business as an outstanding Corporate Partner, honouring the school's ongoing support for the better part of two decades.
For the past 20 years, Ivey has been involved in the Blood Program and since 1998 have been a strategic partner with Canadian Blood Services. The school offers annual blood donor clinics which are facilitated through Ivey Connects - a student-led initiative that is focused on building stronger ties between the local community and the Ivey student body.
In addition, Canadian Blood Services has taken advantage of Ivey Connects' Community Consulting Projects and in 2004, at no cost to the organization, students conducted a study on the London blood clinic to determine best practices for donor recruitment as well as corporate marketing strategies.
Last summer, in partnership with London Life and the London Life Community Internship Program, Ivey Connects also provided Canadian Blood Services with an MBA intern, Stephen Leung, who helped develop enhanced donor recruitment strategies.
"The Richard Ivey School of Business has exceeded all expectations of a community partner and continues to be a highly valued resource for Southern Ontario that is worthy of national recognition," says Judy Compton, Regional Director, Southern Ontario, Canadian Blood Services.
Ivey Connects allows students the opportunity to appreciate the School's mission to produce leaders who contribute to the societies in which they operate.
Each year, in addition to pro-bono consulting work and internships, the students coordinate food drives and toy drives, and, as part of Community Action Days, they spend a full day volunteering within the local non-profit sector.
