H1N1 update
Like many colleges and universities, Xavier is seeing a number of students with the H1N1 virus. More than 100 probable cases have been reported since the beginning of the school year. Many of these individuals have already recovered. The University is taking precautions to ensure the health and well being of all students. The lower level of the Alumni Center has been transformed into a recovery area where students are cared for by medical personnel, and the University is working with professors to ensure the flu does not cause students to suffer academically. |
