Like any freshman, Maddy Gross began her school year in the fall filled with flurries of nervous, eager anticipation. The only difference was that her heart beat three times faster than everyone else — literally. While her peers were adjusting to college life and preparing for classes early in the semester, Gross had to add another task to her to-do list: managing her Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a diagnosis she received just three months after she started at Elon.

On any given day, junior Shahad Haswa can be found speaking with student groups, faculty or administrators on Islam, a faith she and just 1.7 percent of Elon University students practice. According to the Elon Factbook, 10 students identified as Muslims for the 2014-2015 year, but Haswa is only aware of five students who are practicing and involved Muslims. Elon students and administrators are working to address this difference in an effort towards improving diversity on campus. As an executive intern to the office of the president, senior Carley Gaynes worked to advance the presence of Muslim students on campus.
