Reduced lab coat services during summer months

EH&S needs your extra lab coats! Reminder to return lab coats

When researchers leave the lab or the university, many lab coats are left behind and remain unused. This prevents EH&S from reissuing coats to other researchers. To sustain our campus-funded lab coat program, please return any surplus coats.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep lab researchers safe and protected!
