Last week I went on the best walk of my life. Jeff Stern, Claire Esparros and I met with Dr. Danieley to talk about his life at Elon.

But what's important to remember is it's the people from the community that make an awesome features story. We are in a place where there are engaged, active students, faculty and staff doing incredible things regularly. Without them, I'd have nothing to write about and no stories to edit.
