FLU SEASON IS HERE!

As you probably know by now, flu season is upon us.  If you have flu-like symptoms or if you are caring for someone with flu-like symptoms and must miss work, please complete the Flu Absence Reporting Form at http://smu.edu/flu/absence/. This information will help SMU report accurate data to various constituents about the number of flu cases and make informed decisions about University gatherings and facilities. In addition to completing the form, please make sure to notify your supervisor of your absence by e-mail or phone – the form does not take the place of notifying your supervisor.

If you haven’t already received your seasonal flu shot, you can still get one at Health & Wellness Day on October 22, 10:30 – 2:30, in the lower level of Hughes-Trigg Student Center.
