Preventing the spread of COVID-19 is about collective action.

For Harvard College’s residential community of students, faculty, and staff who live and work on campus, it is important that all individuals work together to prevent the spread of infection by wearing personal protective equipment, practicing social distancing, and following local COVID-19 guidelines.

The care demonstrated by students in following these practices hasn’t gone unnoticed. In the open thank you letter, “Messages of Gratitude from the Staff and Faculty of Harvard College to Our Students,” community members who work in the dining halls, drive the shuttle buses, and live in the dorms and Houses, send notes of thanks to undergraduates for keeping Harvard College a safe space.
