Wien Sillevis Smitt
Counseling Service Coordinator
Here in Honors I… advise and support students in academic planning and pursuing professional goals. I also manage Honors by Contract and Experiential Learning processes and provide support for student community opportunities and the Honors Living Learning Community.
I like thinking about and studying… the relationship between literature, culture, and what is considered valued knowledge, especially as it shows up in science fiction and fantasy writing. In particular, I enjoy analyzing what works of fiction take for granted and where they deviate from established socio-cultural narratives. However, I also love learning about history, sea creatures, and outer space!
My first week in college… I tried as many different restaurants on the Ave as I could (and got food poisoning) and went to a Dawg Daze event every day!
