Alumni have plenty to offer

 

This weekend can be more than a time for reconnecting.

Gun violence panel triggers debate on national culture

By Christina Elias

After more than an hour of gun violence discussion Wednesday evening in Upstairs Lakeside at Elon University, many audience and panel members lingered to continue a discussion cut short because of time limits. Despite the audience filling less than half the seats available, audience members had no shortage of questions for the four faculty panelists. Much of the discussion focused on the culture surrounding guns in the United States and its possible effects on violence, rather than a debate of gun control measures. That conversation built off the current momentum of the national conversation in the wake of recent shootings at U.S. colleges.

By Hannah Silvers and Hope Koene
