Campuses Keep Watchful Eye on H1N1
Confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of the H1N1 infection on college campuses continued to make news over the weekend. Higher education institutions — and the associations that serve them — have responded by making a number of resources available to members, staff, and students.
ACUHO-I has collected many of these resources in one place on its Web site. Similar resources are being posted on this blog and the ACUHO-I online network as well. Again, members are encouraged to register for the network if they are not already a member and use this resource to share information and ask questions.
Higher ed professionals will share their questions on Thursday, May 7 from 1-2 p.m. (EST) as NASPA hosts the “Swine Flu:Campus Planning, Preparation & Implementation” conference telephone call with Henry Chung, MD, the associate vice president of Student Health and the executive director of the Student Health Center at New York University. The call is free for NASPA members (though long-distance charges do apply). Register for the phone call here.
Finally, below is a video posted by the White House over the weekend discussing the government’s response to the virus and steps to help prevent its spread.
