During her time at SIUE, Evan Senat, an anthropology major from Belleville, Illinois, has done many impactful things such as helping create the Little Free Library on campus, but her education will not end with graduation. This summer she plans to study abroad.
During this semester Senat won many awards, like the Robin Brown Memorial Life Experience Award in Anthropology and Community Engagement in Anthropology, and she also won a scholarship on top of that.
âI won the Community Engagement Award because I have been working the position of community outreach chair for the SIUE college democrats,â Senat said. âAs well as that I also had an internship at a local historical museum here in Belleville for the entirety of my senior year, and I have also been a volunteer Cougar Guide.â

Here s a roundup of key questions raised this week about redistricting.
Why is Illinois talking about redistricting now?
The U.S. Census Bureau released 2020 data on Monday telling each state how many of the 435 seats in Congress they will have.
Every state gets at least one House seat. The rest are apportioned based on a state s population. States that lose population, according to the Census, are at risk of losing seats, those that gain residents can add seats. The U.S. Supreme Court requires that all Congressional Districts be roughly equal in population.
Illinois will lose one of its 17 congressional districts and saw a decrease of more than 18,000 people since 2010, according to the bureau s calculations. That means when a new Congress is seated in 2023, the state will have one fewer representative in the House.

Critics allege that allowing separate graduation celebrations based on race and sexual preference at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville is fostering neo segregation.
“They are working against Martin Luther King Jr’s famous idea that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin,” said Laurie Higgins, a cultural issues writer with the Illinois Family Institute (IFI), a Christian organization that is affiliated with the American Family Association. “We re completely moving away from that and trending towards judging people based on just a few things, whether they embrace sexual deviance and what their skin color is.”
