Students see a textbook delay during first week

By Liam Collins

It's been almost a week since the spring semester began here at Elon, but many students are still having issues getting their books in time to complete assignments for their classes.  It's a result of a new book-ordering system that was implemented last fall and moved textbooks to a warehouse on Church Street in order to make room in the second floor of the book store for more Elon gear.  Before this process change, textbooks were located on the second floor of the bookstore, available for students to either order ahead of time and pick-up, or for them to pick-up with no previous order. Now, all of the textbooks have moved to a warehouse on South Church Street when, as Barnes and Noble Store Manager Carly Mayer stated, the store noticed that 85% of students would order their textbooks ahead of time.

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

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.
