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
Despite worries of a repeat of the storm on the Capitol, President Joe Biden was inaugurated Jan. 20. With his inauguration came promises to reunite a divided nation and undo many actions of the previous administration.
Some people at SIUE are looking forward to a new start in 2021, starting with the inauguration of a new president.
Senior Community Outreach Chair for College Democrats of SIUE Evan Senat, of Belleville, Illinois, said she is looking forward to what Bidenâs administration has planned for the country.
âI think he [President Biden] has enough of the world watching that everyone is holding him to a higher standard than they did Trump,â Senat said. âI really just hope he is taking that seriously, but I have hope that he is.â
