College Provides Hand Sanitizer to
Students
Presidential Hosts Marie Hall and Tommy Wilson (far left in
photo) at Northeast Alabama Community College are shown
distributing free Hand Sanitizer and leaflets of information
about the flu virus to students they meet on the quad outside
the student center. The free sanitizer will be given to as many
students as possible on September 9 and 10 by the Student
Government Association officers and the Presidential Hosts.
"We are doing this to make sure we get the information and
sanitizer in as many student hands as possible," said Dr. David
Campbell, President of NACC. "It is an educational service to
our students."
Attached to the sanitizer is information on how to prevent the
spread of flu or colds, such as keeping your hands clean,
covering coughs and sneezes, keeping surfaces clean, staying
home when sick, and getting vaccinated for flu. Medical experts
say that the hands are the primary way that the flu virus is
transmitted, so it is important to keep your hands clean at all
times.
Dr. Joe Burke, Vice President/Dean of Instruction at NACC,
serves as the Coordinator of the H1N1 Prevention Program at the
College and initiated the free hand sanitizer distribution to
students. For more information, contact
burkej@nacc.edu or phone
extension 320.
