New hours at Student Health

The Student Health Center will be changing its hours on Wednesday mornings. The center will now open at 8:45 a.m., one hour later than its previous opening time.

The change in time will be used for staff meetings to increase interoffice communication and to prepare for the upcoming accreditation process.

The schedule change was approved by the Student Health Center Committee, which is made up of representatives from the Government of the Student Body, the Graduate Student Senate and the International Student Council.
