Safe By Design

Students, we need your help to keep our Farmingdale State College community safe!

Create a clever, witty, or informative reminder to help stop the spread of COVID -19. President Nader, the Student Government Association, the Public Art Committee, and the Farmingdale College Foundation invite students from all departments to submit their original ideas to help remind the campus community to practice common pandemic safety measures such as proper social distancing, wearing proper face coverings, good hygiene (handwashing, elbow coughing, and sanitizing), and mental health.
