Men's soccer aims for Elon history: SoCon title, NCAA bid

By The Pendulum

The Elon University men's soccer team hopes to achieve something this season that has never been done in program history, senior defender Austen King said. The goal: to win the Southern Conference tournament and earn a berth into the NCAA tournament. Elon was the regular season champion in 2008, when this year's seniors were just freshmen, yet the tournament title has eluded the Phoenix over the years. But the expectation this year is to win both and gain an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, King said. "Realistically, we have a team that can do that, judging from how guys are playing this summer and the guys we have coming back," he said. The Phoenix returns nine of 11 starters, including 2010 SoCon Player of the Year junior forward Chris Thomas.

Study abroad program adds new, varying destinations

By Edith Veremu

As part of its commitment to training global citizens and encouraging students to experience new cultures, Elon University and the Isabella Cannon International Centre have added five new Winter Term study abroad programs and three semester programs across the world. The Winter Term destinations are India/Dubai, not to be confused with the existing program in India, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Turkey/Greece and Vietnam, while the semester programs are in China (Shanghai), France (Montpellier) and Turkey. "We are happy that the programs are in new places," said Woody Pelton, dean of international programs. For a program to be created, a faculty member who is interested in leading the course or program must submit a proposal to the Study Abroad Committee, which then determines if the proposal is successful or not, according to Pelton.

Alamance County resident Valerie Epperson said she doesn’t think she would be alive right now if it were not for the Open Door Clinic of Alamance County, a clinic that provides free healthcare to people who do not have insurance. “When I first started, my diabetes were out of control, and I was just eating anything I wanted. It’s like, I just didn’t care,” Epperson said. “When you have someone there to help you, it keeps your mind open all the time about, ‘Hey, you need to do this. You need to stop doing this.’”
