What I want you to know about your uniqueness and how that enhances the culture of CofC…. 

I want you to know that your uniqueness

Brings a soulfulness that cannot be duplicated

A swagger that cannot be mistaken

A determination that says “I Can”

And a truth that can start a fire

I want you to know that your uniqueness

Brings a fresh voice to the classroom

A beautiful laugh that rings out in the dining halls

A friendship that’s deeper than blood

And a style that is yours alone

I want you to know that your uniqueness

Brings words to essays that the reader can hold tight

A tone of voice that turns heads

A questioning mind that makes folks stop and think

And an energy that professors live for

I want you to know that your uniqueness -Enhances the culture of CofC

Because your uniqueness – Is Simply You Being You!
