\u201cHumans of New York,\u201d the popular Facebook page with over 15 million \u201clikes,\u201d now has another sister page: \u201cHumans of Colorado College,\u201d<\/a> thanks to two first-year students, Padah Vang \u201919 and Joann Bandales \u201919. The page already has over 1,300 \u201clikes\u201d and is continuing to gain popularity.<\/p>\n

The students have posted to the page nearly every day for the past three weeks. Each post includes a photo of a CC student and a statement from the student, usually regarding his or her experience at CC, and goals for the student\u2019s experience at the college. Students\u2019 comments are honest, inspiring, and heartfelt. Poignant personalities carry through the screen, speaking to the individuality of the student body, while drawing attention to overlooked issues or shedding light on less common perspectives.<\/p>\n

Esther Chan \u201916 helped Vang and Bandales start the page and says she is extremely excited about where they have taken it. \u201cIt’s just gone so far beyond my belief. They’re creating this community of support, vulnerability, honesty, and authenticity that CC needs,\u201d Chan said.<\/p>\n

Particularly impressive, notes Bandales, is students\u2019 willingness to share personal details of their lives and allow those intimate stories to be posted for the larger community. \u201cThe interviews that have impacted me a lot have been Mohammad [Mia] and Austin [Lukondi]\u2019s stories. They are both amazing people and for them to talk about these things, it\u2019s just eye-opening that there\u2019s more to a person than you think,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Bandales says she hopes the page will draw the CC community closer together. \u201cI believe that this project will allow us to connect more with the people we see everyday, yet never really know what goes on behind the scenes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Vang and Bandales encourage people interested in the project to contact them and become involved. Anyone can find the page by searching \u201cHumans of Colorado College\u201d on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
