After a hot start, the Elon University volleyball team fell to the University of Illinois at Chicago 3-1 (26-28, 25-18, 25-20, 25-21) at the Kristen Dickmann Invitational in Annapolis, Md. The Phoenix were ahead on the scoreboard for most of the first set before needing a tiebreaker to take the 1-0 lead, but a strong second set from the Flames pulled the match back even. Momentum from the second set propelled UIC to the victory. Elon’s front line of sophomore Megan Gravley and junior Kris Harris recorded 20 total kills between the two while freshman Morgan Maner led the team with 12 digs in her first official match with the Phoenix.

Senior Justine Garcia added 19 digs, and junior Sara Sternard had 15 kills and 2 aces. The Flames had 19 total service aces in the game, including seven in the third set.

Renegade Productions: Filling the void for theatrical experimentation

By Dalton Cox

Renegade Productions, an up-and-coming organization at Elon University, is a student-managed platform that offers an outlet for undergraduates to produce, design and perform any variety of performance pieces. The organization began with provisional status from the Student Government Association in 2011, when Class of 2013 Elon alumnus and BFA Acting major Logan Sutton recognized the need for a means by which students could develop independently sourced theatrical material. “Before my time at Elon, Renegade Productions existed but only as a name that was haphazardly tagged onto non-departmental, student-led productions,” Sutton said.

As K-12 students across North Carolina prepare for their winter break, the Elon University Poll released poll data on Dec. 17 finding that most North Carolinians gave mediocre or poor grades to public schools across the state. “The states have always had deep authority on education, but there has been more federal involvement in various years,” Director of the Elon University Poll Jason Husser said. “So we thought, well, this is the time for us to really look in depth about what do people think about North Carolina schools.”

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.
