Armed with handmade signs and messages of equality, a crowd of more than 60 students and faculty gathered outside the CSI building on Friday afternoon for a peace rally, right after the sworn in of the 45th President, Donald Trump.

Many in the crowd expressed uneasiness about the inauguration. "I'm kind of mad," said Manveena Singh, a freshman studying business administration. "The feeling was completely off and different. There wasn't a sense of pride like previous years." Some students held small, colorful signs with anti-Trump messages, such as "There will be hell toupée" or "Make America Mexico Again".
