School of Physical Sciences Messages and Policies
9/13/21 Associate Dean Van Vranken Message on Fall Instruction
Masks available at Physical Sciences Storeroom
Face coverings are available for free at the School of Physical Sciences Storeroom in the Basement of Frederick Reines Hall, from 10 – 11 am each day. These are cloth masks.
If you wish to obtain N95 masks – a terrific idea - a mandatory 5 min video provides instruction in its use. Access this video at the UCLC website. It is titled, "FILTERING FACEPIECE (N95) VOLUNTARY USE". To find this video, simply search "N95" in the window at the top of the UCLC splash page. You will be required to "register" for this course, which involves a few clicks. At the conclusion of the course, you will be emailed a certificate that you must bring to PS Stores in order to receive N95 masks
