Article written by Joy Gephart, staff reporter

On April 19, 2024, Illinois became home again to one of the three tribes honored in CLC’s Land Acknowledgement. The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation were finally granted 130 acres of land, which was placed into trust for a reservation. This reservation will create sovereignty for the Potawatomi in Illinois.

Joseph Rupnik, tribal chairman of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, explained the historic significance of the land trust. The Prairie Band originated in the Great Lakes area. His great grandfather, four generations removed, Chief Shab-Eh-Nay, signed several treaties with the U.S. government. This included the Treaty of Prairie du Chain, which outlined this specific trust of land as Potawatomi country. In total, the Potawatomi signed 44 treaties, all of which were eventually broken through the Indian Removal Act.

The Chronicle sat down with the Director of Cybersecurity, Byron Sosa, to discuss the threats students face online.

Sosa said he and his team evaluate anything suspicious and make sure that the right steps are taken to secure the colleges’ data.

When something needs to be addressed, they make recommendations to the board of trustees to prevent threat actors from gaining sensitive information. If it gets approved, they implement it; if it doesn’t, they table it, at least for the moment.

Threat actors are individuals or groups that exploit vulnerabilities within a system. These vulnerabilities aren’t just system-based – they’re user-based.

Scam emails are sent by these threat actors to get recipients to give up their information without knowing. Most emails trick the recipients into believing there’s a problem with their account, telling them that they need to log in and verify that it’s still in use. They then use the information they have gained to take advantage of them.

Check out this wonderful illustration made by Kaitlyn Christesen, in honor of Black History Month! Read an excerpt of the description down below:

“n honor of Black History Month, the woman being featured is Gwendolyn Bennett, an influential artist and poet from the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a very influential time period in the 1920s for American culture as it brought many African American artists, musicians, poets, writers, scientists, politicians, and activists.

The second Image shows her work as a poet. The poem featured is “To A Dark Girl,” a piece about being a Black woman. This piece is very fitting for Black History Month as many Black women often struggle in America due to prejudice and injustice, and this poem will help uplift them in this trying time. To tie it in with her painting, the same shades of blue are used to compliment the piece.“
