Elon community mourns loss of friend, colleague Jim Pickens

By The Pendulum

Jim Pickens, a former Elon University professor, died today. Pickens worked as a professor of psychology for more than two decades at Elon before retiring in 2007. "He, with a couple of other people, served as a conscious for the university in some significant ways," said Jeffery Pugh, professor of religious studies at Elon University. Pugh associates the Students for Peace and Justice with the legacy of his friend, he said. Pickens served as advisor to the organization throughout his time at Elon, according to an article published on E-Net. He motivated the creation of the Non-violence Studies minor and traveled to Nicaragua and Guatemala as part of Witness for Peace trips. "He was always putting before use issues like Nicaragua or the situation in Honduras or what the School of the Americas was up to in Fort Benning and other kinds of peace and justice issues," Pugh said.

The Elon junior forward’s inbound pass down the court found sophomore guard Jack Isenbarger for an easy layup with 17 seconds left in double-overtime to put the winning points on the board in an intense contest as the Elon Phoenix defeated the College of Charleston Cougars 99-98 in Alumni Gym Thursday night. “I am very proud that we as a team got a great, great victory and it’s a team victory,” Elon head coach Matt Matheny said.
