Diversity and Inclusion Capstone Project

Students: Darrell Davidson, Tyron Jamison, Ashley Yarter, Stephen Grimsley

The purpose of this project is to help new and veteran students be comfortable with sharing their identity with those around them. This project should show that it's Who You Are that matters, Not What You Are. We want everyone to be able to express themselves without apprehension.
