beyond our appearances

Hamline is a small campus. We walk by the same people everyday without knowing anything about them—except what they look like. We are judged by what people can see. There are ways to express ourselves through dress and hair, but we are more than our appearances. I want people to be able to see me for more than what I look like. I wanted to give people a chance to tell us who they really are, so I decided to ask people around campus for themselves that they wish people knew.
