By Kristen Olsen

The Ever Elon campaign is completed, but its impact is still growing. After five and a half years, the Ever Elon campaign ended with a total of $107,333,426 and has begun in the final stages of its construction with the recent building of the new Multi-Faith Center, the Numen-Lumen Pavilion. “It is not about the money, but what the money does for us,” said Jim Piatt, vice president for university advancement.

By Mary Kate Brogan

So this week, almost all of the new members in Elon’s sororities are getting “bigs,” but even though I’m not in a sorority, I feel like I’ve gotten two bigs this past month. Just two weeks ago, I started the Elon University crime beat and, much like sorority sisters who’ve been through it all before, two Pendulum staffers have helped me out with my new undertaking.

Bringing study abroad experiences home

By Caitlin O'Donnell

When senior Hannah Barry returned to Elon University after studying abroad in Ghana last Winter Term, she wasn’t quite ready to let go of the experience she’d had there. “We came back and wanted to create an organization on campus where we can basically do international development projects for the communities we visited,” she said. The Periclean Scholars program, a civic engagement group which students apply to participate in, focused on Ghana in the past, but Barry wanted a new option to be more accessible to all students. When the group of students first applied to Student Life for recognition as an organization, the proposal did not pass, Barry said, because there was concern that other classes would want to create similar organizations for other nations, which would become overwhelming. Instead, the organization applied again under the name Elon Partners in International Development, which is now under provisional status as an organization.
