Fortunately, leg warmers are not the only protection against sickness here on campus as Ambrose Health Center, located on Starin road, offers resources to keep students and faculty healthy, including but not limited to, flu shots and cough drops. In regards to one of the few pandemics we are facing, the establishment is distributing two free Covid-19 tests and instructions on how to receive more if needed.

During this flu season, there is nothing better than a hot drink to keep warm and stay hydrated. Willie’s in the University Center and P-Street Market, located on Prairie Street below Esker Hall, offers many different types of deliciously toasty beverages during the day. Another way to stay warm in the evening is by visiting Wells hall where a student volunteer runs a late night cafe, which is a good way to fuel both body heat and study sessions.
