For those of you with students that need to book plane tickets for Winter Break, please be aware that East, West, and Maria Halls close on Friday, December 18, 2009, at 5:00pm. All residents must be out by that time. Students do not have to move their possessions out of their room, but they cannot live in the residence halls during Winter Break. They will be able to return to their hall on Saturday, January 9, 2010, starting at 9:00am.
WVA residents do not have to go home for Winter Break--the apartments are open year-round.

H1N1 Precautions and Recommendations
We are advising all our residents to follow these precautions:
- If you think you have the flu, stay home. Don't go to work, school, or travel while you're ill. Isolate yourself.
- Cover your cough/sneeze using a tissue or cough/sneeze into your sleeve and not your hands. Discard used tissues.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand gel, especially if you've been coughing/sneezing.
- Cleanliness counts. Use household products which will kill the germs that spread influenza.
- Contact Health Services (314-246-6922) if you have flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, headache, runny nose, body aches, chills, fatigue).
- The CDC is encouraging all students to receive the annual/seasonal flu vaccination, available now from Health Services, Walgreens, and other local health care providers.
