Q: When you’re not on campus, how often do you wear your mask and why?

“I usually wear my mask whenever I’m in public buildings, because I’ve known people that have been fully vaccinated and still gotten one of the variants. So just to be safe I like to wear it.”
Brendan Howard
Anthropology

“Typically when I go to a store or whatever, not at home of course, but public areas.”
Evan Shumard
Liberal Arts Transfer

“I wear it out in public in general, for the safety of others.”
Christyn Tayar
General Studies Transfer

“I never wear my mask because it messes up my beard, it messes up my skin, and I can’t breathe in it. I just don’t support it.”
Fawaz Nimer
Washtenaw Technical Middle College

“Not often because I’m vaccinated. I know when I’m vaccinated I can still get (COVID), but I don’t like having (the mask) on my face, it’s suffocating.”
Moody Imran
Washtenaw Technical Middle College

“Rarely, because I’m vaccinated.”
Kristine Bassett
Psychology

“I wear my mask a lot because I haven’t got vaccinated yet. I’m scared of COVID, and I don’t wanna get it.”
Kamarie Mayes
Ypsilanti Community High School Dual-Enroll, Nursing

“Whenever I go to indoor places like the gym or something, because that’s my parents’ rules.”
Marcus Gharbieh

“We wear it all the time because of medical reasons, and we work in a medical office.”
