Flu Campaign Materials

Gannett has a long history of spearheading campus flu awareness and prevention. Over the past five years, a flu prevention campaign entitled “Your health is in your hands,” has been in effect. It is comprised of nearly two dozen posters, as well as related newspaper and electronic ads. This page lists the various pdf files.

It's true that flu prevention begins at home, but while the flu is personal, the current flu pandemic has the potential to impact all areas of campus life, including academics, housing and dining, human resources, transportation and other important services. It's important to make information about the flu accessible on as many CU department websites as possible. Please consider posting the widget below on your department's website. It will link users directly to the flu information provided by Cornell.
