Temperatures are expected to drop throughout the week, so be sure that you are prepared to stay safe as you make your way on campus between classes.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment offers advice on how to avoid cold weather-related health issues:
- Wear appropriate clothing, such as: Hats, scarves or masks that cover face/mouth, water-resistant coats, gloves, several layers of loose-fitting clothing and water-resistant boots
- Pay special attention to most-affected body parts: Nose, ears, toes, cheeks, chin and fingers
Buildings on campus are open during the school day, so if you feel like you are experiencing any adverse effects from the weather, take a moment to warm up in a building as you make your way to class.
If you experience any health issues from the weather, you can contact Student Health Services (SHS) at student.health@wichita.edu or call 316-978-4792. SHS is located in the Steve Clark YMCA on campus.
