Campus ChampionShaneya Simmelkjaer, a senior who triple majors in criminology, political science and Africana studies, has spent her academic career studying the struggles faced by people of color. She’s also working very hard to make a difference. The Black Student Union vice president is a Black feminist advocate who believes that Black Americans continue to live in fear, sometimes due to indirect or unintentional discrimination. “I use my voice to highlight diversity issues on campus, and these include microaggressions and color blindness,” Shaneya says. Black History Month is winding down, but Shaneya will remain vigilant in support of greater social, political and cultural understanding of the Black community.
