Haque, a graduate student in education, has worked for non-profit education organizations in Washington D.C. and Latin America. Haque was at the vigil to support those who are affected by President Donald Trump’s executive order banning the entry of citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations into the United States. She said she has been asked by members of the SIU community why she cares about the ban if it doesnt directly affect her. “I dont just care about myself,” Haque said. “Iranian students are among the biggest group affected by the ban. If that happened to me, I would want people to stick up for me.” (Athena Chrysanthou | @Chrysant1Athena)
