It's the middle of summer. People are having fun outside. And the smell of smoky grills fills the air. It can only mean one thing: Time to think about back to school!
Like a lot of things, educational institutions are rethinking freshman orientation. The focus is on gifts that promote healthy habits and preventing the spread of germs, in addition to traditional favorites like notebooks and power banks. Considering the circumstances, "welcome back" gifts make a lot of sense for everyone else returning to campus too, including upperclassmen, faculty, and administrators.
And wouldn't you know? You can find it all right here.
Face coverings will be one of the most effective ways to slow the spread of germs on campus. The versatile Dade Snood can be worn around the neck and easily pulled up over the mouth and nose when needed – plus you can customize it with edge-to-edge decoration that shows off the school colors. And it's comfy too, made with the same breathable, moisture-wicking fabric as the popular Dade Polo.
Reduce hands-on contact with high-traffic surfaces like door handles, ATM buttons, and touchscreens. It's even got a retractable ID holder for students, faculty, and staff.
