It’s flu season again, and Lipscomb’s Health Center staff is encouraging students to be proactive by getting a flu shot. “Getting a flu shot for $20 at the nurse’s office is a lot easier than spending all of your time catching up on a week’s worth of missed assignments from being sick,” said Lipscomb’s Nurse Practitioner Bethany Massey. No one likes the aches, pains, chills and vomiting. Getting the flu vaccination now can prevent all of those. Massey said it’s especially important for people with chronic medical conditions to get a flu shot. “Something as basic as asthma to even diabetes or any epilepsy or neurological conditions… it is extremely important for those people to get a flu shot because the flu can really affect them and make them have more complications versus someone with a normal immune system,” she said. “Those people are more likely to get pneumonia, to be hospitalized or even die from the flu. The flu is a very serious illness that can cause a lot of problems for people. So, it’s very easy to just swing by our office to get the vaccination.” “Some people think you will get the flu from the flu vaccination, but that is simply not possible,” according to the health center staff, which reports that the only reactions possible are very mild flu symptoms that mean your body is “responding to the vaccination.” The symptoms wouldn’t be enough to sideline you from normal activities or classes. “Even if you are generally a healthy person, you can get sick from the flu,” according to Lipscomb’s health services office website. “You...

The Student Activities Center has been revving up the activity schedule for this fall with a Personal Training Crash Course. The SAC is offering free training sessions to 12 students this month. Personal training sessions for students are usually $20 per session, but Emily Harris, director of campus recreation said Lipscomb wanted to offer a special financial deal for students. “Any place you go in Nashville, it’s $50 to $80 dollars an hour. I mean it’s a steal,” Harris said about what Lipscomb is offering. “Even though $20 is a good deal, it’s still $20, and that’s hard for a college student to come up with.” “We wanted them to have that benefit of reaching their personal goals and experiencing personal training while in college,” Harris said, stressing the importance of students knowing how to take care of themselves now so they can maintain proper health as they age. “Thirty years down the road you might be like ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve gained 30 pounds. I need to lose weight! I don’t know what to do!’ Since you’ve experienced personal training in college, you won’t be freaked out to hire a personal trainer.” “You’ll remember, ‘Oh I’ve experienced that in college. It’s not what I thought it would be,’” Harris said. “It’s not like ‘The Biggest Loser’ on TV where they’re screaming at you and yelling. It’s like literally a life coach to help you reach the goals that you have.” Training sessions for participating students consist of two 30-minute workouts per week for four weeks. The certified trainers pair students with a workout partner, or if students have...
