Dual-degree student struggles to say goodbye

By Lindsey Lanquist

Elon University sophomore Aubrey Crawley has a schedule she adheres to each week. Mondays are spent working at the Allied Churches food pantry with her boyfriend, Matt Lee. Tuesdays and Thursdays, Crawley and Lee go to Poverty and Social Justice class together, then Crawley heads back to Allied Churches to put in more hours at the food pantry. On Thursday nights, Crawley grabs dinner with her roommate, then meets with her InterVarsity Christian Fellowship small group. For someone who has become so settled here, Crawley said it’s hard to believe that in just two months, she will be leaving Elon for good. Crawley is a member of Elon’s International Business dual-degree program, which means she, along with three other Elon students, will spend the next two years at Reutlingen University in Germany. There, she will get the opportunity to explore the European business sector while experiencing a different culture — something she said enticed her when she was first applying to colleges. “It just seemed like a great opportunity everyone would take advantage of,” she said. Crawley said she knew in high school she was interested in pursuing international business.
