Despite growing trend, Elon has no plans to offer midnight classes

By Sarah Delke

The registration period at Elon is one that can be stressful, time-consuming and difficult, but there is a new idea that may just make this often dreaded time a much simpler one. According to a recent article in USA Today, many colleges are adding midnight classes to their schedules to make room for more students to get the classes they want. Beginning at Bunker Hill community college in Boston, this idea was brought about with the hopes of offering students more variety in their class schedules. Mark Albertson, registrar and assistant to the provost at Elon University, said it has been several years since midnight classes have been considered.

By Rachel Vargyai

"Thank God they took that out of the test," she said. Now a sergeant at the Graham Police Department, Sharpe said she found her true passion in law enforcement. But having such a prestigious title as a woman working in law enforcement is no small feat. "Even as a very small child, she had a very unique personality," said Libby Sharpe, Crystal Sharpe's mother.

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.

"Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".
