1 Build a Healthier Campus Community GOJO Hand Hygiene Program for Higher Education

2 Health is Essential to Learning Hand hygiene plays a vital role in the learning community 6% of students said illness affected their academic performance 1 78% of students think campus cleanliness impacts their health Students suggested hand sanitizers on campus would improve cleanliness and help them learn better Performance suffers when illness affects students class attendance, their ability to study, focus and do their best. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in preventing illness and stopping the spread of germs to others. Wherever students connect, germs spread. As busy students move between dorm and classroom, dining hall and rec center, they spread germs handtohand and to objects they share. By placing hand hygiene at touchpoints campuswide, the solution is within easy reach of the problem.

3 GOJO Hand Hygiene Program... a cornerstone of your healthier campus Comprehensive approach. Simple implementation. GOJO Foam Soap promotes frequent handwashing, clean facilities and sustainability efforts. GOJO s highly effective and environmentally preferred Green Certified hand soaps help support a clean environment with environmentally responsible packaging and formulas. Certified by Green Seal and by EcoLogo Rich foam soap encourages use and keeps facilities clean Show students that wellness is a priority. Provide PURELL everywhere students connect. PURELL kills 99.99% of most common germs that may cause illness Our foam formula encourages use, and dispensers act as a powerful reminder Educational and communication tools to create your custom plan. Posters and a brochure educate and encourage Press releases, newsletters and blasts share knowledge and news 4% fewer missed school days among university students that used PURELL along with hand hygiene education vs. students that did not. 4

4 The Plan to Build Your Hea Everywhere students gather, share materials, and connect, you can promote a healthy campus attitude. Your GOJO comprehensive solution makes hand hygiene available and highly visible. Health Center Health fair packs and welcome kits demonstrate hand hygiene as a priority.
