FRIENDLY REMINDER OF SCENT-FREE POLICY

♦  In response to health concerns, Arts & Humanities  has developed a Scent-Free Policy.  Scented products such as hairspray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as  respiratory distress and headaches.  Instructors, students, staff and visitors are asked to not use these products when visiting the A&H office.  Arts & Humanities at Bellevue College is a Scent-free environment.  Remember, what seems like a light application to you can bring on a situation where someone is put into serious distress.  Please be mindful.  The biggest culprit  is “perfume.”  Please read more.
