We are seeing significantly higher numbers of Influenza cases in the Health Center this week. 

You can help protect yourself by frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and taking care of yourself (sleep, nutrition, reduce stress). Taking Vitamin C after you have been exposed will not keep you from getting the Flu. 

If you got the Flu shot, you can still get the Flu, but it will typically not be as severe. 

Symptoms of the Flu almost always include a combination of fever, body aches and upper respiratory symptoms. 

If you are having symptoms, get tested as soon as possible. If you are diagnosed with the Flu, there are prescriptions that can help, but these must be started within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. 

The Health Center is availble for students Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Call 512-863-1252 to schedule an appointment.

Together We Dine!

February 23, 2026. 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm

Southwestern University and Grace Episcopal Church are proud to partner with Common Ground USA and Project Unity to host a special dinner event in Georgetown, TX. Together We Dine™ provides an opportunity for individuals of diverse backgrounds to gather over a meal in a safe and respectful space to have meaningful conversations on our varied perspectives and differences regarding topics we don’t often openly discuss. This experience will provide an invaluable opportunity for participants to connect and share with one another as we discover that we have more in common than not. Plan to attend, and you will realize that what unites us is greater than what divides us.
