Stay Healthy, Warm, and Happy!
The semester is well under way and winter is just around the corner. If you don't have winter clothes, now's the time to start thinking about getting them (especially with the PFD coming out this week)! As unfortunate as it may seem, -40 is not a valid excuse to not go to classes.
Along with winter comes flu season. Keep yourself healthy by dressing warmly and washing your hands frequently! Also, multiple places around town, including the Center for Health and Counseling, administer flu shots. Be sure to get yours!
