Vice President Dr. Chick Woodard's letter to KU families September 23, 2009
If your student should become ill:
Kutztown University is strongly urging students with flu-like symptoms to contact the KU Health & Wellness Center at 610-683-4646 and to self-isolate by not attending class or any public gatherings while ill. Students residing on campus should go home to recover until they are fever-free for more than 24 hours. (Students with special circumstances that prevent them from leaving campus should consult with the health center as soon as possible.)
Consider preparing a “Get Better” kit for your student
Such a kit might contain items such as a
- Thermometer
- fever reducing medicine (e.g. acetaminophen, ibuprofen, but not aspirin)
- hand sanitizer
- facial tissues
- sports drinks that contain electrolytes such as Gatorade
- nonperishable foods such as granola bars, instant soups, peanut butter, canned juices, dry cereal, dried fruit
