Shona Coleman
This week's #ResidentofEIU is Shona Coleman, from Edison Park, Chicago, IL. She is working on her Masters in History and hopes to work in museum curation!
She was nominated for her involvement in #WellerHall Council by helping with their ROC-Fest window display and creating many fun activities with the executive board. Shona went more into depth about what she has done for Weller Hall Council from holding different positions, VP and Publication, and the boat race, which has been her "baby" for the past 5 1/2 years. They placed 3rd this year for the boat race! She has been involved with helping out the theatre productions, working on homecoming, and working special events at the REC Center over the years.
When asked what she likes about living on-campus, she responded, "Being in Weller, I am right next to my classes and the library. Everything a historian really needs. Living on campus has allowed me to meet new people from different backgrounds every year." Her most memorable moment at EIU has been when Shona portrayed Anne Bonny, a famous pirate, to teach kids in the community about pirate life at the Living History Program.
Shona has some great advice for #Futurepanthers, saying "Don't hide away!" Shona explained that your friends are out there waiting for you to meet them at one of the involvements offered at EIU! Shona also added, "Most of all, remember your not the only one who's a freshmen, everyone is in the same boat as you."
Shona, you are an amazing addition to the #EIUfamily and we congratulate you on being this week's ROE. Keep up the hard work. We look forward to seeing you gain more experiences and successes while with us!
