Students create winning video to highlight importance of organ donations

A video produced by students in UALR’s Office of Health Promotions, Programs and Education recently won a statewide competition sponsored by ARORA, the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency.

The video was created to highlight the importance of organ donations. ARORA’s stated mission is to save lives by maximizing the opportunities for organ, eye, and tissue donation in Arkansas.

Vanessa Lewis, coordinator of health promotion, programs and education, submitted the video, which was created by peer educators in her office. Peer educators are UALR students who promote healthier lifestyles and alternatives to high-risk behaviors.

Leanna Payton, director of UALR’s West Hall residence, helped film and edit the piece.
