Join us for Shades: What Is My Identity? on Monday, November 9, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Diversity Center. We'll begin with a presentation on intentionality and identity, exploring how our experiences, values, cultures, and communities shape who we are. Participants will then create a personalized stick figure craft, using colors, symbols, words, and drawings to represent the many parts of their identity and reflect on what makes them uniquely themselves.

Shades is a discussion-based event series open to all UIS students, faculty, and staff. The goal of this series is to create a safe and affirming space where we can explore topics of identity while bringing together QTPOC (Queer & Trans People of Color) students and allies on campus. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Open to UIS students, faculty, and staff.
