To New York Tech Bears and student-leaders Fernanda Tovar and Kevin Dominguez, a mask is more than an accessory. It's a way to protect yourself and those around you...and to #DefendTheDen! 

📍New York City campus
🤝 Leaders of New York Tech's Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. 

Q: How can we hold each other accountable when practicing safety? 
Tovar: By making sure that we tell our friends about the importance of wearing a mask. We can also carry extra masks to give out to those around us who don’t have one or forgot one. 

Q: Who do you wear a mask for?
Dominguez: When I wear a mask, I wear it for myself and for the people around me. I wear it for my friends, family, and people out in the streets, because the faster we limit the number of people getting COVID-19, the faster we can move forward from this pandemic.

We can achieve much more as a community when we hold each other accountable and practice #BearCare.
