The colored string created a visual web in the grass on El Pomar Plaza that organizers hoped would encourage the community to celebrate differences and commonalities.<\/p>\n<p>The project wrapped up Thursday evening with a Just Talk event in the Kraemer Family Library.<\/p>\n<p>The Kraemer Family Library, Global Intercultural Research Center, MOSAIC, Recreation and Wellness Center and the Matrix Center were event sponsors.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-26674\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1204-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-26675\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0153-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-26676\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0152-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-26677\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-750x422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-174x98.jpg 174w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170426_095800_resized.jpg 1328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;
