A Central Connecticut State University student said he is trying to spread unity throughout campus after some students feel a Trump presidency could have their school divided.
Dozens of CCSU students marched and chanted across campus Wednesday. Among them, Jose Diaz. The 23-year-old is an immigrant from Mexico. He's in the U.S. on a work permit and is part of program helping immigrants receive an education.
After hearing Donald Trump won the presidency, he worries about his future here in the states.
"I see the way he expresses the way towards immigrants, undocumented immigrants, and people overall. That specifically makes me scared," said Jose Diaz.
Fueling the fear. Social media posts he receives. Some post, calling Diaz undocumented, and demanding his deportation.
At the rally, Diaz said the criticisms were shouted not tweeted.
"They were saying profanity," said Diaz.

The rally's purpose students said wasn't to show opposition for Tump. Instead, to show unity among fellow organizations on campus. And unity for fellow students no matter who they support.
"After they came and talked to us they understood it," said Diaz.
Understanding. An idea without borders. And an idea Diaz said he hopes others will support. So everyone has the greatest future possible.
"We define our future, it's the things that people do, and what we do together, is what our future will look like," said Diaz.
Since the rally organizations here on campus have been supporting each other more students said.
