It’s not often that T-shirts have a Clothing Facts box that resembles the Nutrition Facts label found on a box of snacks. But TS Designs is not a normal clothing company. Based in Burlington, TS Designs has taken on a commitment to sustainability.
Italian is more than a language — it’s a way of living, according to Italian professor Marina Melita. In looking for a way to promote its department on campus, the Italian Studies Advisory Board wanted to do something different.

Students in the Elon Dance Company will get a taste of professional experience later this month, performing at the Semaine de la Danse Festival in Aurillac, France. Nine dancers, accompanied by professors Lauren Kearns and Karl Green, will perform their piece, “End Games,” as well as take classes with French choreographers and other dancers. The festival will be an important opportunity for both the students and their professors, as they are representatives from the only United States university to be invited to attend the festival, according to Green. Green’s idea to broaden the experiences of the dance program derived from a trip to France last summer, when he connected with a French choreographer and discussed a possible project.
They built their project on a simple fact. Elon students don't use nearly as much as they have. “We have these huge closets and we feel the need to fill them up to the brim, but we wear about 30 items,” said sophomore Meaghan Fabrycki, one of the coordinators of Elon University’s service learning core. This realization inspired the members of the service learning core, which constitutes the former residents of the service learning community, and residents of the service learning community to transform Oaks 212 into a thrift store Sunday, March 4. Thrift stores attract the members of the service learning community because consumers are able to buy used clothing rather than support production where unethical labor practices could have been used, Fabrycki said. Those in the service learning community included Elon students in their promotion of socially conscious consumer behavior. Elon students were able to bring their clothes and accessories to the room and exchange them for another item.
The most recent Elon University Poll surveyed 605 North Carolinians regarding their views on the presidency of President Barack Obama.

Sometimes it’s difficult to think on your toes, but it’s much more difficult to come back from not thinking on your toes.
[quote]The digital age has rendered nobody anonymous. But the simple fact of the matter is some are less anonymous than others.[/quote] It’s no secret: We live in a digital age. Walk anywhere on campus and try spotting even a handful of students not connected to their iPhone or some other piece of newfangled technology.
It started with lunch and a simple conversation. April Post, senior lecturer in Spanish, attributes the Brown Bag Lunch Session to the genesis of the Amigos Club, a program that partners Elon students with Spanish speaking students at Broadview Middle School.
In short, he’s a voice. When he speaks, people typically listen. And he doesn’t just speak for himself. Darien Flowers, Student Government Association executive president-elect, said he has known since childhood that words have power.
A dependency on the Internet transcends generations on Elon’s campus. The transition to Moodle, a learning management system, provides faculty with a new set of online learning tools to utilize in their courses. Starting in June, Blackboard will be a platform of the past, and the university will completely switch to Moodle. “Moodle has allowed us to introduce faculty to the full capability of our instructional technologies to let them think about what they want to do in their course and then how to do that,” said Roger Gant, an academic support specialist. The moving process has taken about two years, according to Gant.
When I say Mac Miller has got me jumping through hoops, I don’t mean literally (although that would be hilarious). I mean that, much to my poor editor Rebecca’s chagrin, I have been tugging and pulling at strings for the past month or so trying to secure an interview with Mac, who is one of the artists performing at Elon’s Spring Show 2012. Now let me say this: the lack of contact thus far is not one particular person’s fault.
David Blanchflower, professor of economics at Dartmouth College, explored the issue of economic austerity, a policy reducing government spending, in Europe, and presented alterior methods to address deficit. He criticized the current economic policies prevalent in Europe in which reduced government spending is often used to pay off national debts and in turn, reduce the deficit, but generally leads to an increase in tax rates or a decrease in the supply of public services. The event was co-sponsored by Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Elon University was founded by the modern-day United Church of Christ in 1889. In the 1930s, our mascot was coined as the Fighting Christian.
