As part of this committee, the Health Science Center was asked to create an online Zika informational hub for all System entities to utilize as a resource to share pertinent information with faculty, staff and students on their campus, which is now live—<a href="http://vitalrecord.tamhsc.edu/zika360/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">Zika360</a>. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" class="">Customizing information from the CDC and WHO—and with help from </span><span style="" class=""><a href="http://vitalrecord.tamhsc.edu/zika360/experts/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: purple;" class="">experts across TAMUS</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" class=""> —the web hub will serve as a daily resource for the most up-to-date/breaking information on the virus.
