A container is placed at the door and on each lab table. I also have antiseptic hand gel in the lab available to all the students. Custodial Services also helps me out, by spraying the lab surfaces down with antiseptic each night. As students are oriented to the lab, they are also given a brief presentation on preventative hygiene. Students are reminded to wipe down mice, keyboards, earpieces, and mics (I pulled the foam off the mics as it actually serves no purpose). Actually, I am more concerned over conjunctivitis and the common flu and am glad to see the current awareness. Students, by the way, have been overly appreciative about our department's efforts to increase hygiene.

Hughes Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 7:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: H1N1 flu preparations Hi, I'm wondering if you might be able to comment on what you're doing at your schools to prepare for a potential H1N1 flu epidemic. I realize that we're all in a somewhat special position as we're working with keyboards, microphones, headsets and whatnot. H1N1 is already in Nashville and even though there might be a lot of hype surrounding it, I think that some measures should be taken. I just don't know which ones. Suggesions? Todd F.
