FAMU grads get diplomas, masks, hand sanitizer
TALLAHASSEE (AP) – Florida A&M University is giving out hand sanitizer and surgical masks along with diplomas at its graduation ceremonies.
The school is taking extra precautions to prevent the spread of swine flu in the large crowds attending the weekend ceremonies.
University President James Ammons will have his own bottle of hand sanitizer as he shakes students’ hands. The students are being asked to use hand sanitizer themselves as they approach the podium for their diplomas.
Extra hand sanitizer will be available to all guests, staff and the keynote speakers.
Surgical masks will be distributed to students and guests that want them.
