The St. Louis University Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology will conduct a bone marrow registry drive in support of Amanda Pope from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today — April 22 — in the rotunda of McDonnell Douglas Hall at Parks College, 3450 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis.

The screening process takes 15 minutes and only involves a cheek swab.

Amanda recently was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

The disease is treatable, but Amanda may need a bone marrow transplant as she continues her treatment, according to a news release.

She is a marketing coordinator for Parks College and formerly a graphic designer and sales representative for Call Newspapers.

Amanda is the daughter of Cathy Pope, who also is employed at the Call.
