The weather has been all over the place lately, and it has been affecting students and faculty.
From colds to strep to flu, many people at The W have experienced the battle between immune system and infection. While it has not reached epidemic levels, it is still important to remember how to prevent catching something and what to do once something has been caught.

The W announced on March 8 that the college will be restructured effective July 1, partly as a cost-saving measure.
