Welcome to Marietta College
Saturday, July 04 2009 @ 03:50 PM EDT

Welcome to Campus News

This forum is intended to expand communication beyond traditional email with announcements appearing on:

the College home page,
the MyMC Portal
featured pages on the College site (e.g., Fine Arts), and
this site, where you can view the most recent posts or view the latest announcements, organized by topic, including Academic Seminars and Athletics/Recreation.

Effective March 1, 2008, the email broadcast system will reject submissions that should be posted to Campus News.

This site does not replace campus emails, but it is intended to reduce the number of emails sent to mc- email broadcast lists.
Announcements that currently go out to the entire campus—but do not impact the majority of recipients—will transition here.

All messages to specific groups (e.g., mc-faculty, mc-senior)—and from College representatives such as the President or Campus Police—will continue to be sent via email broadcasts.

View the Announcements in an Email Client or Web Browser

Individuals can subscribe to the site's RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed.
(Learn more about this option by viewing Subscribe to Announcements.)

Post Announcements to Departmental and Group Web Pages

Messages posted by departments and student organizations can be featured automatically on a group's College web page, reducing the time and resources needed to update web content. (View the Campus Groups page to see if your group has an account. To request an account, email webadmin@marietta.edu.)

If you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule an appointment to walk through the process of posting or subscribing to this site, please email webadmin@marietta.edu.

College officials have determined that partnered town/gown events or College events open to the public can be displayed at one or both of the two approved locations up to two days before the event. The banner must be removed immediately following the conclusion of the event. Only one event will be hung at a time.

Approved locations

Don Drumm Field fence centered with the scoreboard.

Swine Flu resources

As the CDC continues to trace the occurrence of swine flu in the U.S. you may want a source of updates and current information. We continue to watch developments as they could influence the Marietta College campus.

(CDC information on swine flu)

www.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx
(CDC information for travelers)

www.odh.ohio.gov

Recommendations Regarding Swine Flu

Monday, April 27 2009 @ 12:06 PM EDT

As you may already know there are reported cases of swine flu in Mexico and in the U.S. What we want you to know is that we are staying alert to the situation and ask that you follow some guidelines recommended by the CDC in helping to keep yourself and the community well.

You are our best defense against catching and spreading the flu.

How Flu Viruses Spread

The main way that illnesses like colds and flu are spread is from person to person by coughs and sneezes. This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air and make contact with the mouth or nose of people nearby.

Droplets from an infected person can also make contact with environmental surfaces (like the tops of tables). The virus can then be spread from those surfaces if a person touches the droplets and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth, or nose before washing his or her hands.

The virus also can be spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes into his or her hands and then touches a surface (like a phone, remote control, or keyboard) before washing his or her hands. Another person could become sick if he or she touches that surface and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth, or nose before washing. Flu viruses and other germs can live 2 hours or longer on hard environmental surfaces like tables, doorknobs, and desks. Surfaces are likely to be touched much more often than they can be cleaned and disinfected.Thus, it is important to wash your hands often, keep your hands away from your face, and keep such surfaces clean to help prevent the spread of germs.

How can you protect yourself from getting sick?

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.

Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

What if you get sick?

Influenza-like symptoms include fever, body aches, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea.

You should contact your health care provider. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing or treatment is needed.
