H1N1 Flu Shot Clinics

H1N1 shot clinic on Monday 11/23/09 from 11:30am - 1:30pm just inside the entrance to the dining hall.  The vaccine is FREE, is the injectable form similar to what was given for seasonal flu and is not a live virus.

Smoking Policy

The revised policy extends the "Smoke-Free" zone to include the majority of the campus. Smoking will now be permitted only in designated outdoor areas where smoking huts have been installed. Additional huts have been ordered - see Designated smoking areas (pdf).

The new policy is designed to promote healthy lifestyles as well as to protect faculty, staff, and students from second-hand smoke, while addressing the growing litter problem on campus that is directly related to smoking.
