Your pod is the people with whom you live. Think of your pod like your family at home — people you are with all the time. The key thing to remember is to avoid going from one pod to another, because that is how the virus spreads. When you have to interact with someone outside your pod, such as when you are in class, always wear a mask and practice physical distancing by staying six feet apart. Sticking with your pod is critical to keeping yourself and your fellow Friars safe. #FriarsProtectFriars
