Brown is fortunate to have a strong community that believes deeply in caring for one another. From the earliest signs of COVID-19 on campus last spring, students, faculty and staff at Brown have joined together in countless ways that reflect our values of conscience and caring to keep Brown and the families in our surrounding communities healthy and safe.

Based on these values, Brown Takes Care is a campus-wide prevention and education initiative coupled with a public health campaign to support the well-being of all those who work, study and live at Brown.

Whether it's wearing a face covering on campus, maintaining 6 feet of distance while in line for food or mail, or getting vaccinated when eligible, we know that it will take each and every one of us exercising personal responsibility to confront COVID-19 and help Brown get to a place where we can be together safely in the months to come. 

Brown Takes Care is designed as an inclusive and iterative community effort that directly engages students, faculty and staff as storytellers and influencers to promote the health practices that are essential. It brings together social media, video, web communications, training modules, community activities, student activity kits, signage and more, as well as a range of flexible templates and digital assets that Brown community members can use to bring the campaign to their cultural and identity groups, schools and departments, student organizations and sports teams, and social groups.
