After months apart, University of Arizona Health Sciences faculty, staff and students are beginning to return to campus following the guidance of the university. Among the changes we are all becoming familiar with, everyone is required to wear face coverings when on campus, and team Health Sciences is committed to leading by example.

As members of the Health Sciences community, whether we’re working on the frontlines of health care, or supporting the institution’s education and research goals, we believe we are stronger together, and that we can collectively influence our community’s health and well-being.

The “I Wear a Mask” photo campaign aims to capture our shared goal of leading by example as a cohesive team of faculty, staff and students, throughout the state. College leaders, researchers, alumni, health care experts, staff and students share what motivates them to be stewards of public health protocols.

We believe it is our shared responsibility to model proper safety standards, and show the community that #TeamHealthSciences is committed to following science-based safety protocols on and off campus.
