Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, face coverings will be required at all Salt Lake Community College campuses this fall semester.
As the first week of the semester approaches, The Globe is sharing mask selfies submitted by SLCC students, who also explained why they choose to wear face coverings during this unprecedented time.
