US Marine Corps Officer Selection Information Session - sponsored by Career ServicesContributed by Kristin LiBritz on 10/16/09 Students seeking post-graduate opportunities with the United States Marine Corps should attend the upcoming Corps' information session. Officers are college graduates who have earned and accepted an appointment by the President of the United States. The Marine Corps Officer is a leader, a warrior and an upstanding citizen instilled with the special trust and confidence of our nation to lead its expeditionary force. Their commission gives them the responsibility of leading Marines as they defend the Constitution of the United States. Representatives will be on campus on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:00pm (Ithaca Falls Room) to share information about opportunities with the US Marine Corps. For further details about the Corps, please login to your account at https://www.ithaca.edu/erecruiting or contact Career Services.

At the risk of sound anti-humanitarian, I have to say the same thing about the Blood Drives sponspored by the American Red Cross, which continues to opperate under a bigoted policy that forbids men who have had sex with other men from donating blood. That was a policy that was a frightened response to a moment of crisis in public health history--and reinforced stereotypes about groups of people even back when it was instituted. Give the demographics of HIV transmission today, imagine the racist and ethnocentric policies that might be put in place by the same logic.
I do not doubt the sincerity and good intentions of those involved in blood drives and I also have utmost respect for the women and men who serve our country in the military, but I wish the institutions that set the policies under which they work would make reasonable and intelligent changes--and that IC would take a stand in refusing to reinforce outmoded and discriminatory practices until they do.
