Keep ’em Clean: Rensselaer’s Campuswide Hand-Washing Campaign Is Coming
Be on the lookout for informative posters and new hand-washing stations that will be appearing around campus in September. As part of a proactive campaign to keep students, faculty, and staff healthy, Rensselaer’s Gallagher Student Health Center is installing waterless hand-washing stations where food is served as well as in other common areas. The new dispensers will provide a special alcohol-based, antimicrobial cleanser that kills germs and is easy on the skin; posters will explain the benefits of regular hand washing. At the start of a new school year, the campaign aims to encourage everyone to keep their hands clean and their health in top shape.
