Since launching One Wick Worldwide earlier this year, members of the Hartwick community around the globe have stepped up to take the challenge.
From working on Habitat for Humanity projects to collecting food items for food banks, the year-long initiative is inspiring volunteers from all corners of the world, including Amy Gardner ’99, Family Nurse Practitioner and Director of the Perrella Health Center.
For One Wick Worldwide, Amy and her healthcare colleagues at Perrella urge everyone to think about supporting a critical healthcare need—blood and platelet donations. The American Red Cross is facing its worst blood shortage in over a decade, which poses a concerning risk to patient care. Doctors are being forced to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who needs to wait until more products become available.
The College is doing its part on Thursday, May 12, when it hosts an American Red Cross blood drive from noon to 5 p.m. Can’t attend? Find a blood drive in your area, then accept the One Wick Worldwide Challenge and sign the pledge.
Amy and the staff in the Perrella Health Center have pledged their support for One Wick Worldwide.
Will you join them?
College leadership was inspired by Amy Gardner ’99, Family Nurse Practitioner and Director of the Perrella Health Center, and have donated blood in the spirit of One Wick Worldwide.

The Classroom Connections Program connects alumni and friends of the College to the classroom -and other settings- to share their experience and professional insights with our students.
Volunteering to be a speaker, either virtually or in-person, is another form of mentoring. Classroom Connections speakers introduce students to a range of professionals and perspectives, from recent graduates and early professionals to accomplished mid-level and senior level experts. Do you have insight, experience and/or expertise you would like to share with students? Let us connect you with faculty and staff looking to bring professional perspectives into their classrooms, on the playing field, and other student activities.
Fill out the Registration Form to help us make a match between what you can offer and the needs of our programs. Thank you!
With TrueBlue Connect, students have opportunities to network with and consult Hartwick alumni who are eager to share advice about their professional experiences and offer suggestions for students as they launch their careers.
