Case of mumps confirmed on campusTania MacWilliamSheridan News
A case of mumps has been confirmed at Trafalgar Campus.
Students may have been ex-posed since Nov. 8, according to a warning notice issued by Halton Public Health.
Mumps is a contagious viral disease that can be spread through coughing, sneezing, sharing food or drink and kissing, according to the health department mumps fact sheet.
Symptoms may not become
apparent until two to three weeks after exposure.
These include painful, swollen glands on one or both sides of your face, pain with chewing or swallow-ing, earache and fever, according to an internal Sheridan e-mail to fac-ulty and staff.
Though people generally re-cover completely after about 10 days of symptoms, mumps can lead to complications such as pneu-monia, meningitis and temporary deafness.
“Mumps virus can also cause
painful swelling of the testicles in teenage boys or young men, and swelling of the ovaries in women and girls,” said Kathy Jovanovic, su-pervisor of communicable disease control services for Halton Region.
Jovanovic says two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine are necessary to be com-pletely protected from contracting mumps.
“Normally they are both child-hood vaccines,” she said. “One is given just after the first birthday and the second at 18 months, but
sometimes that doesn’t happen.”Those who are unsure of their
immunization status are encour-aged to check with their doctor or contact their public health office.
“If they’re not up-to-date, it makes them vulnerable if they’re exposed to the virus,” she said.
While there is only one con-firmed case, it is more effective to inform the entire campus, than just those in the individual’s program, according to Jovanovic.
“Students and staff may have been exposed in other settings on
the college campus,” she said. “It’s important that we keep the notifica-tion as broad as possible.”
Part of the role of public health is to alert people that they may have been exposed to an infectious dis-ease, said Jennifer Cowie-Bonne, a professor in the Exercise Health and Science Promotion program at Davis Campus where she teaches a health communications class.

Sheridan College could be launching its revamped website as early as this weekend.
The redesigned site is part of the school’s attempt to refresh its “shine brighter” cam-paign.
With new pole banners lining the streets near Davis, Hazel McCallion and Trafalgar Campuses, the college’s “shine brighter” cam-paign, which was introduced in 2009, has ex-perienced a redesign.
According to Janine Gliener, executive director of marketing and communications at Sheridan, the new ads reflect the college’s ex-isting goals to promote the college’s academic philosophies and to recruit new students.
“We want to use advertising to build awareness of Sheridan in our marketplace, to enhance the image and the reputation of Sheridan and drive people to our website to look at our programs and join in,” said Gliener.
With Sheridan’s transition from a college to a university on the horizon, its marketing campaign will hold the same priority of pre-paring students for an accelerated workforce.
“Fundamentally our transition to a uni-versity is an evolution,” said Gliener. “The path that we have been on where we help learners to thrive in a rapidly changing world isn’t going away and the world isn’t slowing down,” she said.
