What students and faculty can do to help prevent from getting or spreading the flu:
- Practice good hand hygiene. Students and staff members should wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Practice respiratory etiquette. The main way that the flu spreads is from person to person in the droplets produced by coughs and sneezes, so it is important to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.
- Stay home if you are sick. People who are sick should stay at home and keep the virus to themselves rather than sharing it with others at school.
Community Service: Attention All Students - For community service information and opportunities please click on the Community Service Opportunities link in the left column of this page.
