As we continue to monitor COVID-19 cases on campus and work to mitigate its spread, I want to thank you again for your support of WKU’s Healthy on the Hill operations this fall. We continue to experience a small number of new cases weekly, and we know this success comes directly from your persistent efforts to create an environment that minimizes the opportunities for spread.
I understand the stress and additional effort due to rethinking and restructuring everything we do as an institution in response to the virus. From pedagogical and modality changes to building new ways to engage prospective students; from restructuring how we advise to innovating in the ways in which we engage donors; you have done extraordinary work since the onset of this pandemic to ensure we continue to meet our mission.
As we head into the last month before the Thanksgiving break, it is more important than ever before for you to get a flu shot. Because many symptoms of influenza and COVID-19 overlap, coupled with concerns over individuals simultaneously fighting both illnesses, WKU strongly encourages our faculty, staff and students to take this precautionary measure.
Now, we have made it even easier for you.
