STAYING HEALTHY MEDICINE In the United States, there are roughly two types of medications: Over-the-counter-drugs (OTC) and Prescription drugs. OTC drugs are the medications that you can buy at drug stores without prescriptions. Some OTC medications have side effects. Read the symptoms and directions carefully. If you have questions, ask a pharmacist. Prescription drugs can be purchased at pharmacies and pharmacy counters in drugstores. Make sure to bring your insurance card. Depending on your insurance coverage, you are usually required to pay a “co-payment�, which is a fixed amount of money you need to pay when you use the insurance. Any amount more than the co-payment will be covered by your insurance, until you use up to the maximum coverage for the year.
SAFE ZONE The aim of the New School Safe Zone program is to assemble a voluntary network of faculty, staff, and student allies to LGBTQI people to increase safety and create a more supportive campus environment for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex (LGBTQI) community at The New School. The New School is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for all members of the university community regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, culture, language, gender and gender expression, sexuality, religious and political beliefs, age, and ability. The university stands against all forms of discrimination and oppression, whether directed against individuals or groups. After the introductory Safe Zone training, students, faculty, and staff display a Safe Zone sign on their lockers, desks, backpacks, or office doors; this signifies support for LGBTQI people and identifies those displaying the signs as Allies who can be safely approached for support or guidance. To become an Ally or receive more information on Safe Zone, email safezone@newschool.edu or call (212) 229-1671, option 4. The Safe Zone Team publicizes the program and distributes materials, provides introductory training to those who wish to become involved, and educates the larger community about the meaning of the signs and the importance of building safe and inclusive spaces for all students.
