Users are encouraged to save Campus Alert to their phone contacts so that calls may be easily identified. If you have not yet signed up to receive emergency alerts visit the website.

Debating about getting a flu shot?

The influenza virus is the infectious virus that causes the flu. There is no way to kill the flu virus – antibiotics don't work. Prevention is the best way to stay healthy. Covering your nose and mouth when you cough, washing your hands, using hand sanitizer and receiving a flu shot are the most effective ways to prevent the flu. Get your flu shot Oct. 30 or 31 in UMC 235. For more information contact Wardenburg Health Center, (303) 492-5101 or visit the flu clinic website.
