In recent years, the backbone of the university course measuring metric, the credit hour, has come under increased scrutiny. Originally created by Andrew Carnegie and once called a “Carnegie unit,” the credit hour was created as a way to ensure professors received proper pension, measuring the amount of time a teacher spent teaching and relating that to payment.
When 2008 alumna Lauren Emery returned to Elon this fall, she noticed a change in the university’s strides towards religious diversity. “There is a renewed energy at Elon for creating a space where people can celebrate their own traditions, and also learn how to interact with people who have different traditions from their own," said Emery, who now works as the interim assistant chaplain. Though Emery hopes to help foster an environment that is wholly inclusive and welcoming of students from all religious backgrounds, she said she recognizes this is a goal that will not be met over night. “Some people still don’t feel that this is a place that is as accommodating of their traditions as much as it is of other traditions,” Emery said.

A few weeks ago, the United States and the world mourned the loss of a legend. Aug. 25, Neil Armstrong died, 43 years after being the first human being to step foot on the moon.

America today is not the same country it was in the 1960s. We’re not trying to outpace a rival superpower, and we’re nowhere near as financially stable as we were four decades ago. Space travel, while once the collective vision of a nation, is now the casually ignored vision of the overly idealistic.
A panel of four educators and experts on immigration gathered at Elon University Oct. 17 to discuss the Deferred Action Immigration Program and how it affects the lives of Latinos in the community and in the country.
