Congratulations!
Georgetown University tied for Top University fundraiser in the Greater Washington Heart Walk. Thanks to all the faculty, staff and students who participated in and contributed to this wonderful event.

Flu Shot Update: Seasonal flu shot clinics temporarily suspended until additional vaccine is received. See http://shc.georgetown.edu for updates. In the meantime, faculty and staff may wish to take advantage of the many flu shot clinics being held throughout the metropolitan area. The American Lung Association has developed a Flu Shot Clinic Locator to help you find a clinic near you: http://www.flucliniclocator.org/
