Provost Halleran's message to faculty regarding H1N1 planning
As we face the upcoming flu season, the health of all members of our community is of utmost importance and we will seek to balance this overriding concern with carrying out our missions of teaching, research and service. While we expect that William & 玛丽, like all universities, will see its share of cases of the H1N1 virus ("swine flu"), the scope and severity are not yet known. What is known is that this will likely pose substantial challenges to the academic calendar and require a good deal of flexibility and planning from all of us. We will be following the best medical advice for reducing the spread of infection and you have also received a memo from Vice President for Administration Anna Martin on best practices in preparing for and dealing with this flu. For more information, health alerts and updates, please also visit www.wm.edu/flu. The College's Emergency Management Team will continue to update that site throughout the year.

I encourage you to share your ideas and concerns with your colleagues, chair and dean and to begin to consider possible changes that you would need to make in your courses. This would be an obvious topic for department and faculty meetings. If you have questions or suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.
