In recent years, the backbone of the university course measuring metric, the credit hour, has come under increased scrutiny.

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.

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.

Space travel, while once the collective vision of a nation, is now the casually ignored vision of the overly idealistic.

You’ve probably seen the commercials. Those deep brown eyes that have cried countless puppy tears, the matted, flea-infested fur begging to be combed and rubbed, and the protruding rib cages, evidence of malnutrition and cruelty.
