Apps on smart phones are becoming an increasingly popular way for students not only to get information, but also to send it.
Students across the country are using wearable technology to track their steps and access apps from the convenience of their wrist with products like Fibit, Apple Watch and Garmin Vivoactive. Some universities have taken this appreciation so far as providing the advanced wristbands for students.
With the rise of technology, computer programs and online homework websites have become commonplace in classrooms to help enhance student learning. Programs such as Microsoft Excel are common in business classes, while lesser-known programs such as Mathematica have a dominant place in Elon’s math classrooms. And online homework sites such as Cengage, McGraw Hill, Pearson, Moodle and WebAssign are all used by students for submitting homework and getting homework help.

Many students see Spring Break as a week of spending all of the cash they have earned throughout the semester to relax and make memories.
The other day, to help with an article she was writing for one of her classes, a friend of mine sat down with me and asked me if I had ever used counseling services at Elon. As we sat in the crowded Moseley Student Center, I felt myself look around the room cautiously before quietly answering “Yes.” I have been using counseling services on and off ever since I first got to Elon.
I know you have a lot to accomplish over this week, and perhaps some fun traveling and sightseeing, or even service to experience.

It’s a Friday night, and aside from the buzz coming from inside the dorms, Elon University’s campus seems quiet.
The Elon University softball team is littered with quality hitters up and down, with six starters batting .300 or better and three more slugging .500 or higher. But Elon’s typical second and third batters in the lineup — junior outfielder Alaina Hall and sophomore outfielder Kara Shutt — have stood out with their bats and gloves.
Each year, Elon students, and the school itself, strives to top themselves in everything they do.

Elon lost 13-8 to the Bulldogs on March 11 in poor fashion — the Phoenix handed the game away.
Change, no matter how minor or drastic, is a terrifying concept. Even the bravest people can admit that change is scary, but it is important to also see the beauty and excitement that can result when change occurs. Elon is currently going through a number of changes.
