This workshop creates a supportive space for students to explore the evolving nature of identity in
college, from cultural and personal identity to academic and social roles. Through guided reflection,
peer discussion, and self-awareness exercises, participants will unpack the pressures and possibilities
of becoming their most authentic selves.
