H1N1 Flu Update - Seasonal Flu Shots Strongly Encouraged

September 2, 2009

To: Texas A&M students, faculty and staff

With the start of fall semester classes, colleges and universities nationwide, including Texas A&M, are reporting unusual spikes relatively early in the season of individuals sick with flu-like symptoms. Health officials speculate that some of the reported cases could be the H1N1 flu and suggest that strong precautionary measures be taken immediately to help reduce the spread of the illness.

As you know, H1N1 flu is spread primarily by personal contact with infected individuals. Thus, good hygienic practices, self-isolation and social distancing can significantly decrease the spread of the flu. So, if you get sick, please stay home and limit contact with others to minimize the possibility of infecting them. In such instances, employees should contact their supervisors as soon as possible and inform them of their need for time off.

We strongly encourage all students, faculty and staff to get seasonal flu vaccinations as early as possible. Immunization for H1N1 influenza is expected to be available in mid-to-late October.

For prevention tips and the latest medical information related to H1N1, we strongly encourage you to visit this web site: http://www.tamu.edu/emergency/procedures/flu.html#shs

The university will continue to operate in accordance with its pandemic plan, while also working closely with local, state and federal health authorities in a concerted effort to help ensure the health and safety of the entire Aggie Family. We have been carefully monitoring this dynamic situation for several months and will continue to keep you abreast of the latest information regarding this public health issue.

About the Office of Graduate Studies

 
The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) maintains the official record for each graduate student, and in this role serves as the primary administrative body and overarching source of information for graduate education. Once a graduate student is accepted by an academic department or college, OGS assists and facilitates progression towards completion of a graduate degree through maintenance of all official documents. Clearance for graduation, including final review of theses and dissertations when required, is performed by OGS, but the Registrar's Office is responsible for issuing all transcripts. For specific questions concerning admission into a graduate program, please contact the program or department directly.

The Office of Graduate Studies strives to be a global leader in graduate education, committed to the pursuit of knowledge and the power of intellect. Through exceptional service and unwavering commitment to the highest standards, it advocates for graduate education at Texas A&M University and throughout the State of Texas. Using innovation in technology and rigorous study of best practices, OGS seeks to continually improve its services to the graduate community.
