"As University Ombuds, I care deeply about fairness and equity. Please let us remember regularly to socially distance, wear a mask, and use hand sanitizer, to make sure that everyone in the Brown and greater Providence community regardless of age, health condition, or economic circumstance - has the best chance to stay healthy and safe during this precarious time. Following these vital public health measures will allow each of us to do our part in not only taking care of ourselves, but also in taking care of each other." - Julie Weber, Brown University Ombuds
"I wear this mask for every student in my class, for every member of the cleaning staff that takes care of this space before and after we enter it, and for every member of our community who comes here, too. I wear it for your sisters and brothers, for your grandmother, for my children. I wear it for strangers so that someday we might be able to meet each other." - Matthew Guterl, Professor of Africana Studies and American Studies
