Announcements
Flu Shots: The Health Service offers flu vaccinations on Thursday, November 6, 9-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m. at Winning Health Center. No appointment is necessary. A fee of $10 will be billed to student accounts; employees and retirees may pay by cash or check. Other family members are not eligible this year. Health service staff suggest that vaccination is especially important this year, because of the possible return of SARS with the advent of colder weather, and remind everyone to be on the lookout for SARS symptoms: high fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties. In their early stages, SARS and flu present similar symptoms, and vaccinations against the flu will help medical professionals make correct diagnoses.
Call for Proposals: The Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley Spring 2004 Technology Conference theme is "Wired, Weird and Wonderful! Teaching and Learning in an Online Era."
