Last Tuesday, I hosted a Bone Marrow Registry Drive with my SGA co-senator, Jessie Burdette. We helped over 100 individuals join the registry. I decided to host this drive after my friend Caroline started hosting them at our parish at home and at her school in DC. It meant a lot that so many people were willing and excited to join the registry. My parents taught me that things happen for a reason and no matter what today brings, tomorrow is a new day. That is why I joined the registry in high school- I want everyone to have a chance at tomorrow. Everyone has the chance to change a life in a different way, I hope that my way is by being a Match.

For those who were unable to come on Tuesday, follow this link to join the registry! https://join.bethematch.org/CatholicU

After living in 3 different countries including 3 different states in the USA, it is no surprise that Roisin Gibbons decided to come to the nation's capitol to pursue a career in Social Work at CUA. Whil she did run away to Australia, her love for DC and the HC family brought her back home. Now a semester away from her senior year, Roisin is a HerCampus CUA writer, Co-President of CSWNA, Active Minds Fundraising Chair, and Marketing Chair for NRHH. Along with that, her own blog and volunteer experiences, she finds time to be a fashionista, singer, adventurer, and model for GUS Vintage Goods in California over school breaks. Roisin hopes to make a difference for victims of human trafficking and alcohol and drug addiction as a Social Worker and believes that her work with communities and blogging has put her ahead of the game.
