Campus Blood Drive Held In Memory Of Pedestrian Hit By Bus

University of Wisconsin-Madison colleagues participated in the campus? annual blood drive Thursday to honor the memory of Maureen Grant, the victim of a bus-pedestrian crash in Madison last June. Blood drives are an annual event for the staff at UW-Madison?s Memorial Library. But the drive on Thursday was to remember one of their own. Grant, a UW Libraries employee of 26 years, died after being struck by a bus while walking across University Avenue in June 2011. “Maureen was a regular blood donor,” said UW-Madison Libraries Interim Director Ed Van Gemert.” She gave blood not only at the university drives, but also in her hometown in New Glarus.”
