Students try on hijabs

The Muslim Student Association put on an event where students got the chance to try on a hijab, wear it for the day and keep it. While trying on a hijab may be a small gesture, the Muslim Student Association hopes that it will go a long way toward promoting acceptance and understanding of Muslim traditions.
