Seeking opinions on wearing kippah on campus

I’m a college professor who is somewhere on the reform/conservative spectrum and I’m seeking opinions on what I’ve historically done.

On holidays, I wear my kippah because a student years ago complained about being the only Jewish person around (not knowing I was Jewish). She said she really liked a visual acknowledgement that she was not alone.

I have been doing this for several years, to some stares, on my incredibly WASPy campus. The only judgement I’ve felt has been from another reform Jew who seemed off-put by it.

How does this feel to you? I don’t wear it every day. I normally only wear a Kippah in shul / on the way to shul / at home on holidays.
