Students gathered at the Center for Intercultural Engagement to swap hair products, share advice and build connections

As program coordinator of student diversity and inclusion, Cohen and her colleagues at the Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) hosted the University of Delaware's first official hair product swap that saw students gathering to exchange products, get tips from others with multicultural hair and spend a few moments freely chatting about something as intrinsic as hair care.
