Ink Winter, Perry County<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Jeff Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scholarships that Ink Winter has received have strengthened their bond to SIU since transferring from Rend Lake College.<\/p>\n

Studying Japanese and German in SIU\u2019s College of Liberal Arts, Winter has been awarded the Collins Family Saluki Scholarship and Helmut and Marry Liedloff in German Scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of warms my heart,\u201d Winter said. \u201cI\u2019ll look more fondly on my time at SIU because of these scholarships. Someday I want to give back to people in a similar way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite commuting from Du Quoin, the Pinckneyville Community High School graduate is heavily involved both on and off campus. They are the secretary of two organizations, the Saluki Rainbow Network and Alternative Lifestyles, Identities, and Sexualities (ALIAS), and are also a COLA senator in the Undergraduate Student Governement and member of the Saluki Tabletop Gaming RSO.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy scholarships prevent me from needing to take out student loans. If I didn\u2019t have them, I would need a full-time job, which wouldn\u2019t allow me to be so involved,\u201d Winter said. \u201cI work part-time now, so I\u2019m thankful for the freedom scholarships offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winter plans to attend graduate school at SIU and study linguistics with a focus on Japanese.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter graduation, I hope to travel and study the impact of bilingualism in certain areas,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
