“I wear a mask to protect NU students on campus, but especially to protect the residents of Northeastern's surrounding neighborhoods. Their health is dependent on the huge influx of college students doing their part, and wearing a mask is a small gesture that we can do to keep our communities safe.” –  Umin Jalloh

“As a member of E board on the Entrepreneurs Club, and especially for the Husky Startup Challenge, I want the students to be able to have those collaborative group discussions and networking opportunities that are somewhat difficult to do virtually and asynchronously. Also, since I'm often patriotic, I usually wear my American flag mask as a way to wear something unique around campus.'' – Matt Swenson
