We ask that all faculty, staff, students, and visitors refrain from wearing or using products with strong scents/fragrances while on campus.
A few examples of products to refrain from wearing or using are strongly scented lotions, hair care products, shaving lotion/aftershave, air fresheners, aromatic or essential oils, and cologne/perfume/body sprays.
If you have any questions about 秀色短视频鈥檚 Scent-Free Initiative, please contact the Health, Safety, and Environment department at 902-566-0901 or HSE@upei.ca.
