This week at TU!
Say hello to fall weather! It's officially October and the cool has arrived!
With the cool weather comes some illness. If you haven't heard about the flu going around, feel lucky. It is here so if you start feeling bad, call the Alexander Health Center at 918-631-2200. Here are also some helpful tips to reduce your risk of getting the flu. It may be a good idea to carry around some germ spray or lysol that kills the flu virus.
TU Officials Urge Students, Employees to Take Flu Precautions
During the past few days, TU health officials have seen an increase in the number of students who have tested positive for influenza Type A, bringing to 15 the confirmed number of Type A flu cases diagnosed on campus since September 1.
While this is a relatively small number of cases, preventing the spread of the flu virus remains a very significant health issue for our campus. As such, university officials are reminding all members to the TU family to take a few simple precautions that will help prevent spreading the disease.
1) Seek medical attention. Anyone feeling ill with flu-like symptoms is urged to visit the on-campus Alexander Health Clinic, which is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The signs and symptoms of this flu virus are fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. You may visit a local emergency health clinic if conditions worsen after hours or on the weekend. If you are diagnosed with the flu, please notify the Alexander Health Center as soon as possible afterwards to help TU monitor the prevalence of the illness.
2) Stay home. Students and employees who have flu-like symptoms are asked to isolate themselves until flu symptoms have passed.
For more information about the influenza virus, visit the Centers for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov/flu. TU officials will continue to monitor the situation and send out updates as conditions warrant.
Upcoming Events! There are lots of wonderful things happening on campus this week so here's a few!

This week's Question of the Week is what year is the Toilet Bowl going to be this year?
The answer to last week's question was the buildings of Lottie Jane and John Mabee are mirror images of each other and the portraits that sit in the main entry can see each other across the U. There isn't supposed to be anything blocking that line of sight. Kind of romantic don't you think?

2) Stay home. Students and employees who have flu-like symptoms are asked to isolate themselves until flu symptoms have passed.
- Students with flu-like symptoms are advised not to go to class until symptoms have passed. Students should call or email their professors as soon as possible to make arrangements for missed assignments.
- For residence hall residents who are diagnosed with flu and do not have nearby family, they are asked to take stay in their room until they have gone 24 hours without a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines. They also are asked to notify their RA and Hall Director about their illness.
- TU apartment residents confirmed to have the flu are asked to stay in their apartment until they have been 24 hours without a fever. They also are asked to notify their apartment community director if they have been confirmed to have the flu.
- Students diagnosed with the flu and who have family nearby are asked to go home until they have gone at least 24 hours without a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines. Students who don’t live on campus should remain at home until the same conditions are met.
- Ill students should limit social activities or other interpersonal contact.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after use.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- Eat well and get adequate sleep.
- Try to avoid person-to-person contact, and try to maintain a reasonable distance between people to avoid spreading viruses.
