H1N1 Flu Update
September 2, 2009
Dear Study Abroad Students,
LMU is concerned about the health and safety of our students. We would like to share some important information about the H1N1 swine flu. Whether you are already abroad, enrolled in a future program, or currently considering a study abroad experience, it is important that you follow all the guidelines of the institution or provider you are attending who knows best the host country’s situation.
We are all part of the global community and each individual is responsible for making the decision to study abroad.
The LMU study abroad programs will proceed as scheduled for the fall semester. If you have any questions about a LMU-sponsored international program, please contact the LMU Study Abroad office at 310-338-1973.
Loyola Marymount University and the Study Abroad Office will continue to follow global, national and local health advisories issued through the World Health Organization (WHO), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
We urge you to follow and access LMU Community Take Precautions to Prevent Swine Flu Outbreak Web-site.
In the event students need to evacuate housing for any reason, including sickness, the student is responsible for temporary housing.
