Information Related to a Possible Flu Outbreak at the Avery Point Campus

The information coming from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) suggest that we may have an unusually high number of students, faculty and staff come down with the flu this season. We are preparing for this possiblity by sharing the information we have about preventing the spread of the flu and about what you can do if you have, or think you have, the flu. The links below provide information on both these areas and you can find out more about the campus response by contacting the Student Affairs office at (860) 405-9024.
