Final Cut Pro, Canon 7Ds and Flash—oh my. These are just three of what seems like 1.2 million things I have learned about in just the past month and a half as a graduate student of the Interactive Media master's program.

While getting acquainted with campus, I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with several new and delightful people.

Each year, Deborah Long must complete what she calls a "terrible task." Working with a team to review about 100 applications from low-income high school freshmen in the Alamance County community, she must select about 60 to invite in for interviews before eventually selecting 26 to join other scholars in the Elon Academy.

The more than 1,400 freshmen on campus became the latest in thousands to pledge to uphold the Elon University Honor Code at the 6th annual Call to Honor Ceremony. Held this morning in the Academic Village, administrators and SGA representatives emphasized the four hallmarks of the university's Honor Code – honesty, integrity, responsibility and respect. In an introduction to the ceremony, Darris Means, associate director of the Elon Academy and a 2005 alumnus, emphasized the responsibility of the class to uphold the foundation laid by more than 30,000 alumni. "The reputation of a university campus can be affected by the actions of just a small group or even a single person," he said. Means said the ongoing issue with diversity on campus has reminded him there is still much to improve upon.
