<Title>Spring 2019 Influenza Season</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>I'm reaching out to raise your awareness of this year’s influenza (flu) season. According to the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/3wguy/vq2w3bb/f2scpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CDC</a> and the Maryland Department of Health and Hygiene, there has been widespread flu around the country and the state, and University Health Services has documented cases on campus The flu is a respiratory <span>illness</span> with sudden onset of symptoms that can include a fever of over 100ºF, body aches, sore throat, headache, and cough.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>This is an important time for us all to take some simple actions to protect ourselves and minimize the impact of the flu on our community. </strong></span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><span><strong>Get a flu shot, it is not too late!</strong> UHS gave out 495 flu shots this season and while we do not have any more shots, they are available throughout the community.</span></li>
    <li><span>Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizing stations located around campus.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid those who are <span>ill</span>, if you can.</span></li>
    <li><span>Clean surfaces that you or others touch frequently in your room and/or office with anti-bacterial cleaner (bleach wipes are effective).</span></li>
    <li><span>Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve--not your hands--and wash your hands immediately.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid touching your face, whether you are <span>ill</span> or healthy; it spreads germs.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid sharing food, utensils, cups, and water bottles.</span></li>
    </ul>
    <div><span>The treatment for influenza for healthy people is mostly “supportive,” meaning rest, plenty of fluids, and fever-reducing medication as needed. Antiviral medications may be indicated, especially for students, faculty, and staff who have chronic medical problems (e.g., asthma or diabetes) and can be discussed with your primary care provider. Antiviral medications are most effective if started the within 48 hours of developing flu symptoms.</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><span><strong>If you are <span>sick</span>, stay home</strong> and in bed. Avoid crowded places like dining halls, classrooms, restaurants, and the RAC or other fitness centers to prevent spreading illness to others. If you are <span>sick</span>, ask a friend to care for you.</span></li>
    <li><span>Take fever reducers like acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), or naproxen (Aleve) if you do have a fever. If your fever persists for more than three days in spite of taking these medications, please seek medical care.</span></li>
    <li><span>Drink lots of fluids.</span></li>
    <li><span>If you have been diagnosed with the flu and develop shortness of breath and severe fatigue, call your health care provider or go to an emergency room.<br></span></li>
    </ul>
    <span>University Health Services is here to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us at 410-455-2542 for medical advice or further instructions and information. </span><span>If you need to see a provider outside of normal university hours of operation, </span><a href="https://www.umbc.edu/documents/transit-routes-with-resources-2019.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a><span> is a list of urgent care facilities on the UMBC transit line.</span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>

<Title>Spring 2019 Influenza Season</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>I'm reaching out to raise your awareness of this year’s influenza (flu) season. According to the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/3wguy/vq2w3bb/f2scpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CDC</a> and the Maryland Department of Health and Hygiene, there has been widespread flu around the country and the state, and University Health Services has documented cases on campus The flu is a respiratory <span>illness</span> with sudden onset of symptoms that can include a fever of over 100ºF, body aches, sore throat, headache, and cough.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>This is an important time for us all to take some simple actions to protect ourselves and minimize the impact of the flu on our community. </strong></span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><span><strong>Get a flu shot, it is not too late!</strong> UHS gave out 495 flu shots this season and while we do not have any more shots, they are available throughout the community.</span></li>
    <li><span>Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizing stations located around campus.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid those who are <span>ill</span>, if you can.</span></li>
    <li><span>Clean surfaces that you or others touch frequently in your room and/or office with anti-bacterial cleaner (bleach wipes are effective).</span></li>
    <li><span>Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve--not your hands--and wash your hands immediately.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid touching your face, whether you are <span>ill</span> or healthy; it spreads germs.</span></li>
    <li><span>Avoid sharing food, utensils, cups, and water bottles.</span></li>
    </ul>
    <div><span>The treatment for influenza for healthy people is mostly “supportive,” meaning rest, plenty of fluids, and fever-reducing medication as needed. Antiviral medications may be indicated, especially for students, faculty, and staff who have chronic medical problems (e.g., asthma or diabetes) and can be discussed with your primary care provider. Antiviral medications are most effective if started the within 48 hours of developing flu symptoms.</span></div>
    <ul>
    <li><span><strong>If you are <span>sick</span>, stay home</strong> and in bed. Avoid crowded places like dining halls, classrooms, restaurants, and the RAC or other fitness centers to prevent spreading <span>illness</span> to others. If you are <span>sick</span>, ask a friend to care for you.</span></li>
    <li><span>Take fever reducers like acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), or naproxen (Aleve) if you do have a fever. If your fever persists for more than three days in spite of taking these medications, please seek medical care.</span></li>
    <li><span>Drink lots of fluids.</span></li>
    <li><span>If you have been diagnosed with the flu and develop shortness of breath and severe fatigue, call your health care provider or go to an emergency room.<br></span></li>
    </ul>
    <span>University Health Services is here to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us at 410-455-2542 for medical advice or further instructions and information. If you need to see a provider outside of normal university hours of operation, <a href="https://www.umbc.edu/documents/transit-routes-with-resources-2019.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a> is a list of urgent care facilities on the UMBC transit line.</span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>For more information about the flu, visit the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/3wguy/vq2w3bb/vutcpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Maryland Department of Health website</a>.<br><br><em><span>Bruce Herman, Director, University Health Services and Counseling Center</span></em></span><span>  </span>

<Title>Quick Guide to Career Center Events</Title>
<Tagline>Learn what happens where and how you can get involved!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Hopefully, you were able to stop by the Career Fair last week and have been emailing with recruiters ever since. If not, never fear! The Career Center has a huge list of events happening this semester. You can see our full calendar </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events?mode=upcoming&amp;amp;page=3" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>here</span></a><span>, and be sure to look at my guide below on what to expect from each type of event.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Single Events:</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Just like the Career Fair, there are a bunch of once a semester or once a year events happening this Spring. I can’t cover them all here, so be sure to look at our full list of events, but I'll go over a few. </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60048" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>The CAHSS Career Conference</span></a><span> is happening March 7th!. It’ll be an evening full of employer panels, alumni stories and free desserts. This next event isn’t really one event, but instead a full month of events happening every single day. April is our </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/66828" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Career Month</span></a><span> where we have daily workshops, panels, or other events. And finally, if you’re a graduate student, we have an event just for you! Our </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60060" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Career Paths for Graduate Students event</span></a><span> is a speed networking and discussion session. Be sure to register if you are interested.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Recurring Events:</span></p>
    <br><span>The Career Center also has a series of events to introduce UMBC students to potential employers. Our Information Tables (like </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/65977" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>this one</span></a><span> happening with Regal Beloit on the 20th) are when employers set up a table in the Commons for brief networking chats with students. When you go, be sure to bring your resume and dress professionally. Career Corner events (like </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60042" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>this one</span></a><span> happening with chAMP on the 21st) happen on Mainstreet. Employers sit down and have longer discussions with you about possible career paths. UMBC Connects events are special information sessions with partners of the university. They tend to be larger events in the UC Ballroom, like </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60041" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>this one</span></a><span> hosted by the NSA on Wednesday. On the Roads (check out </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60045" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>this one</span></a><span> with Johns Hopkins) are my favorite. The Career Center transports you to the offices for the chance to chat with employees, as well as getting a feel for the corporate culture of the organization. Inside Scoop events are a little different. Instead of focusing on specific companies, they focus on possible career paths for your major, like </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60043" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Communications and Writing Careers</span></a><span>. Finally, our Keys to Success workshops focus on broadly applicable career skills. For example, our workshop on the 4th of March is all about </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/60046" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Mastering the Job Search</span></a><span>. These events happen throughout the semester, so be sure to keep an eye out for employers, careers, and skills you’re interested in!</span></span></div>

<Title>Dr Q. Wu gave a research seminar on lubrication theory</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">On Feb. 8, Dr. Qianhong Wu at Villanova University, came to UMBC and gave the ME faculty and students a research seminar.  Dr. Wu focused the first part of presentation on his research of using lubrication theory and transport in porous media to explain how friction can be dramatically reduced in various applications from microscale level when red blood cells travelling in narrow capillaries to macroscale level of snowboarding.  The second portion of his presentation was on how the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport in porous media acts as a damping component to resist external physical impacts in humans.  We all enjoyed the presentation very much.</div>
