At my university I see the seniors introducing themselves with an open palm, slightly curved/bent showing their body/agency/self at the torso (did I explain that okay?) and then fingerspelling their name... Instead of MY NAME-J-E-S-S (which they teach you as a freshman).

Great catch! Assume you are seeing that open palm/slightly bent facing upward beginning at mid torso and moving down like the agent sign. The sign is "I am" and then fingerspelling their name. A formal introduction. Thanks for pointing that out.
