Semester at Sea wellness challenge

By Lindsey Lanquist

As many of you know, I’m currently studying abroad on Semester at Sea’s Fall 2014 voyage. We recently left Barcelona, Spain to head for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — meaning we’ll be spending the next 14 consecutive days at sea. To make the most of the next two weeks, my Resident Director (SAS’s equivalent of Resident Assistant), Andrew, challenged me and everyone else on my hall to join him in participating in a 14-day wellness challenge. Andrew created a chart with 10 items (everything from floss to read for 30 minutes to write a postcard to a friend), and the goal is to do each of those items once per day.

Semester at Sea: travel playlist

By Lindsey Lanquist

Semester at Sea has provided me with countless opportunities to travel from country to country — both independently and with ship-sponsored programs. Though this has enabled me to visit places I never anticipated being able to visit, it’s also meant that I’ve spent a lot of time traveling in buses, trains and metros, getting to where I’m trying to go. For some, this time spent in transit might be frustrating, but I’ve loved every second of it.

It seems we haven’t talked about the consulting half of the picture. The Elon-Queens merger also brought Elon University to consult with ethically dubious consulting firms, including the consulting firm that did infamous financial mapping used in a proposal to turn the bombed-out Gaza strip into a resort.
