H1N1 Contingencies Studied at Taylor University

09.15.2009

For the past five months, Taylor University officials have closely monitored developments related to H1N1 virus photo by Greg Sykes, ATCCthe H1N1 virus and have been at work crafting logistical response and communications plans should the virus come to our campus.

Throughout this process, we have consulted Dr. Gregory Poland, a former Taylor parent and expert on infectious diseases, and local health officials. We have also monitored Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization H1N1 announcements and studied the responses of other universities where H1N1 has been found.

Our goals are threefold: first, the wellbeing of every member of the Taylor University community is our first and highest priority. Second, it is our desire to approach this situation with thought, reason and preparedness. Third, the overarching aim of everything we do at Taylor is to bring glory and honor to God - this situation is no different.

We have gathered information which we hope will prove beneficial to you and all of us within the Taylor community. We will also make announcements to the campus community via a special Web site we have created for this situation and with e-mail announcements.
