Reality or fiction – just how likely is a pandemic illness? Join leading health experts as they discuss the reality of a pandemic illness on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 4 p.m. at the Health Sciences Center’s Okey Patteson Auditorium.
The panel Pandemics and Vaccinations, is part of the Campus Read conversations around “Station Eleven,” a novel centered around people who have survived a flu pandemic.
The book explores what there is beyond survival--beauty, art, history and human connection. The panel event is an approved event for First-Year Seminar students.
Attendees are invited to attend a reception following the panel in the Pylons area. The reception includes a photo exhibit commemorating the centennial of the 1918 flu pandemic and will feature student remarks.
In conjunction with the Campus Read event, a flu shot clinic will be held from 10-5 p.m. in the Pylons Lobby.
The exhibit, supported by WVU ART in the Libraries and the West Virginia Regional History Center, will remain on display throughout the spring semester.
