Has your student been vaccinated for meningitis?
The American College Health Association supports the meningococcal vaccination recommendation issued by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This recommendation states that all incoming college freshman living in dormitories (or residence halls) receive the conjugate meningococcal vaccine that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Posted in

As a member university in NetVUE - the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education - Dominican University has committed itself to fostering a campus culture of active discernment in which students are encouraged to reflect, individually and communally, on the nature of call and vocation in their lives. University Ministry has launched several new initiatives this year with the goal of helping to further develop this "culture of call" on our campus.
