  • Student Assistance Center Changes | Office of the Dean of Students

    Feb 1, 2019 4:30 pm5 views

    The Student Assistance Center in the Office of the Dean of Students is excited for the spring 2019 semester. We want to inform you of some changes we have made in order to better serve students.

    To be better prepared for the issues students may bring, we are moving to a model in which we strongly recommend that students make an appointment. This is beneficial in the following ways:

    • Students can have concentrated time with a Dean to address their questions or concerns.
    • The student’s issue may require research prior to the meeting, allowing the Dean time to do some preparation in advance.
    • A Dean may not be readily available at all times during peak drop-in hours.

    Students can schedule appointments by calling (217) 333-0050.

  • The now-familiar likeness of Phillis Wheatley that appeared as the frontispiece to her 1773 Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral is an image of, by, and for Black children. The iconic poet, born in the Senegambia region of West Africa, was kidnapped into slavery at the age of seven or eight. Her first published poem appeared when she was a teenager, and she was no more than twenty when her volume of poetry was published in London. Tracing how Wheatley has been pictured in early Black periodicals, educational materials, pageant plays, and contemporary children’s literature, we see how she has been imagined not only as a Black woman writer but specifically as a child creative—someone whose literary acumen was surprising to white adults because of the various intersectional positions of oppression she occupied. Reading these repetitions and reverberations of Wheatley’s image across time shows how picturing Wheatley became a practice for celebrating and fostering creativity among Black children.
