It has been very encouraging to see how many people have
come out the support the CU Identity Project. As we have been presenting our
project on the library bridge, students have been given the chance to actively
break stereotypes on campus. The most interesting thing to me has been the
diversity of identities that have been displayed on the board. Many things that
I had previously never considered to be a part of someone’s identity have been
put on the board. I feel that this does a good job of showing how different we
all are and how our values can shape our identity and vice versa. I was also
surprised by how many people were willing to write their “I am ___ but also
___.” statements on the board. I know I had a tough time coming up with my
statement and wearing the shirt, but many of these people have seemed to have
no problem writing multiple statements on the board. This just goes to show how
proud Clemson students are of their differences!
