Here are 5 great lines to encourage someone to wear their mask:

Let’s keep our campus home safe, together.”

I hate it when I forget my mask. That’s why I always have a few in my bag, just in case. Want one?”

I love seeing everyone in their cool masks! They really reflect their personalities!”

I carry extra masks for friends in need.”

I’ve gotten all my masks at [insert store name or website]. They’ve got a million designs and they’re cheap, too!”

And when all else fails: Point to the many signs on campus!
