Participants in the April 25-27 Unity Project will wind string around any of 32 poles labeled with identifiers such as \u201cMy family\u2019s continent of origin is Asia.\u201d After three days, the string will create a visual web of differences and commonalities, said Katie Gordon, wellness promotion coordinator, Gallogly Recreation and Wellness Center, and a member of the Unity Project planning committee.<\/p>\n

The project will be open to students, faculty, staff and community members 12-3 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. April 25-26 and 12-5 p.m. April 27. A community celebration will happen at 4 p.m. April 27 at El Pomar Plaza, with a Just Talk event at 5 p.m. in the Kraemer Family Library second floor apse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great way for our community to celebrate all of our differences and commonalities,\u201d Gordon said.\u00a0\u201cAnd, for some it will be a chance to share who they are with the rest of UCCS, anonymously.\u00a0 It only takes a few minutes to participate and feel more connected to the rest of campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project organizers are seeking student volunteers to inform and work with participants. The first 30 volunteers will receive a free T-shirt. Volunteers can sign up at acassida@uccs.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Kraemer Family Library, Global Intercultural Research Center, MOSAIC, Recreation and Wellness Center and the Matrix Center are event sponsors.<\/p>\n
