Dear Faculty, I briefly wanted to add a reference to 3M's video on how to properly wear this particular type of N95 mask in order to create a good seal. The video is brief and is a resource there for your convenience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mnSy3hDHM4 I also wanted to add that these are indeed direct from the 3M manufacturer and you can rest assure they are the official and legit N95 product. Lastly, I wanted to add that since these are not individually wrapped, we are taking great care in following recommended CDC procedures on handling of them to avoid any contamination to the masks (i.e. wearing PPE like wearing clean gloves when handling the masks). If you have any questions as always feel free to contact me. Regards, Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator Purdue University | Charles D.

In order to ensure our supplies last and everyone in our immediate CHE community can get one, we are only handing out 2 masks at a time. I shall be sending out emails to all staff and graduate students shortly. If you are interested in getting some of these masks, please be sure to contact me or any of your administrative support staff. We will make them available to you and leave them in your office for your convenience. Thank you, Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator Purdue University | Charles D.
