Materials Given to Providence-Area Undergraduate Students At the Start of Quiet Period
Description
An account of the resource
Images and scans of two packages of materials I received near the start of Quiet Period (during my second coronavirus test at the OMAC, 9/2/20.) Similar bags were distributed to all undergraduate students who were living in the Providence area and getting tested at around this time, although there seems to have been some variation in mask numbers, type, and quality.
The envelope labeled "Quiet Period Kit" contained a pamphlet titled "A Guide to Forming Your Pod," a pamphlet titled "Quiet Period Tips and Activities," six postcards, a poster titled "Stop the Spread of Germs," four Brown Takes Care stickers, and a box of colored pencils.
The plastic bag contained three cloth tie-on face masks, two four-ounce tubes of hand sanitizer, and a package of 50 alcohol wipes.

As some students return to campus and Providence, the University has launched the Brown Takes Care campaign to encourage personal responsibility for public health by providing both physical and online resources to stay safe and maintain the community.
The campaign aims to engage Brunonians on- and off- campus with public health guidelines while staying true to “values that are uniquely Brown,” including a community of care and empathy, said Tanya Purdy, director of BWell Health Promotion and co-chair of the Prevention Education Subcommittee of Healthy Brown 2020.
Through social media campaigns, student-created content and activity kits, Brown Takes Care will urge students to think about their roles in managing the pandemic — as individuals, parts of smaller communities and members of a broader population.
“The campaign is designed for there to be many different entry points and for it to be adaptable” to the range of student living situations — on-campus, in Providence or remote — Purdy said.
As other colleges have opened up in different parts of the country, dozens of institutions have struggled to discourage students from socializing in large groups, which have then become clusters of infection. This campaign aims to facilitate the changes in norms necessary for living and socializing while managing the risks posed by COVID-19.
According to the press release, the campaign is designed to provide “guidance” while “letting community members ‘lead.'” The campaign includes a new Healthy Ambassadors program where staff members will be trained to use “bystander intervention and empathetic communication skills” to protect public health.
Students in campus leadership positions will also be trained by BWell Health Promotion to use “motivational interviewing” as a technique for encouraging community members to discuss challenges and priorities of keeping everyone safe from COVID-19. In the press release, Purdy anticipated that over 200 peer educators and over 50 Healthy Brown Ambassadors would participate in the training program before Oct. 5.
The campaign will also include outreach efforts that extend into the surrounding Providence community. Brown Takes Care messaging will be placed in advertising space around the city. The Office of Government and Community Relations also held a forum on Aug. 20 to have a conversation with local residents about returning students’ impact on the community. Additionally, the University has created an email for neighbors to raise concerns or give feedback.
Purdy said she hopes that the campaign will provide opportunities for students to have difficult conversations about their presence on the East Side.
The campaign’s resources will be available on the Brown Takes Care website and will include educational worksheets, instructions for students on how they can create a pod, and social media tools like filters, profile photo frames and daily challenges.
While virtual resources are accessible to everyone, some physical resources are designed specifically for certain groups of students. For example, during the two-week quiet period students living on-campus will receive activity kits that include “resources and ways to still feel connected to the student body, while adhering to the quiet period when they first move on to campus,” said Alexis Jackson ’21, the presidential intern for the University’s Prevention Education subcommittee.
“We’re not looking for any one strategy or one tool to be the thing that makes us successful,” Purdy said. “It’s about being able to have all these different pieces, working in concert with one another so that we can be healthy.”
Though students returning to campus and Providence are required to complete an educational module and sign a 12-part student commitment to COVID-19 community health and safety obligations, students will not be mandated to participate in Brown Takes Care, according to Associate Vice President for Marketing Communications Carly Kite Lapinski.
“This isn’t a compliance campaign,” she said. “It’s really tapping into people’s care and compassion for one another so that they can do the right thing and keep the community safe as a whole.”
Listening to the concerns of students and developing the campaign with both staff and students has been a focus since the campaign was conceived in April, Purdy said.
Maria Guerrero Martinez ’21, undergraduate representative for the Healthy Brown 2020 committee, said she spent a lot of time “talking to students, then voicing all of those concerns in task force meetings.”
The campaign may evolve in the coming weeks and months. “As a public health major working on a public health campaign, it’s shown me that a campaign has to be adaptable and malleable in order to be successful,” Jackson said.
Purdy agreed that the campaign would have to shift and adapt due to changing public health regulations and outcomes of the fall semester.
“The launch is just the first step,” Purdy said.

Amid a global pandemic that continues to create much uncertainty, many of us are thinking about what we can do to keep Brown and the families in our surrounding communities healthy and safe.
Brown is fortunate to have a strong community that believes deeply in caring for one another. From the earliest signs of the virus 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 support the well-being of all those who work, study and live at Brown.
Based on these values, today we’re excited to announce “Brown Takes Care,” a community-wide effort to promote healthy behaviors during this pandemic.
Brown Takes Care is a prevention and education initiative coupled with a public health campaign, calling on each of us to embrace behaviors that support safe ways of working, socializing and living — whether it’s wearing a face covering on campus, maintaining 6 feet of distance while in line for food or mail, reimagining events, or finding new ways to connect with our friends and colleagues. 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.
The campaign 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.
Brown Takes Care is uniquely Brown, having been created by students and staff working in close collaboration to root it firmly in our University values of care for one another. Brown Takes Care is designed to be easily adapted by on- and off-campus individuals and groups to evolve over time as new health guidance emerges. And it is a resource and a guide for amplifying best practices in individual ways that have meaning for each of us. Through the campaign, you are encouraged to share messages of prevention, tell your “Why I Care” stories, and show how you “Show Care by Doing” (wearing a mask, social distancing, cleaning, contact tracing). A new website makes downloadable resources available for Brown community members who want to use their voice and join the effort.
Visit the Brown Takes Care website at https://care.brown.edu to access digital tools and resources to share and adapt, including the following:
-- Healthy behaviors tips and messaging
-- Instagram stickers and GIFs
-- Snapchat geofilters, stickers and GIFs

This initiative is aligned and integrated with a holistic education and prevention effort across the University that includes Brown’s COVID-19 Campus Safety Policy; targeted online training modules for students, staff and faculty; a robust Testing & Tracing program; and a Student Commitment and Employee Acknowledgement that outline the responsibilities we have to ourselves and to one another to safeguard the well-being of our campus and our surrounding communities.
We want to thank the many, many individuals who have contributed their insights, creativity and expertise over the past months to help shape the Brown Takes Care effort. Thank you to the students, staff, faculty and administrators on the Prevention Education Subcommittee of the Healthy Fall 2020 Task Force, BWell interns and peer educators, undergraduate and graduate students who served on focus groups, and our colleagues in University Communications for their creative support.
In the era of COVID-19, it takes all of us working together to promote healthy behaviors for the sake of the people living and working around us. We hope you’ll join the Brown Takes Care effort. Contact browntakescare@brown.edu with questions and ideas for promoting a healthy Brown.
Sincerely,
Tanya Purdy, Director of BWell Health Promotion; Co-Chair, Prevention Education Subcommittee
Amy Nunn, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Professor of Medicine; Co-Chair, Prevention Education Subcommittee
