Student donors have a colour war Students ran their own campaign this year but rather than raising funds, they raised organ donors. The Students' Administrative Council ran a Gift of Life campaign to raise awareness among students that one donor can save the lives of up to eight people and then encouraged them to register online. More than 300 students signed up and received a pass to participate in a fun colour war with powder and water to show their support. Johnson Inc.
