How meaningful are the relationships you’re creating? How purposeful are you in picking activities that will add depth to your learning? What is the contribution of Greek life to Elon’s social climate? If going to a house party isn’t your scene, what do you want to do on a weekend night?
Halloween is dead. The pumpkin spice latte has disappeared into the night from whence it came once again, and peppermint rains down from the wintry heavens.
Think about your time at Elon University. What you have done, who you have met, where you have gone and, most importantly, who you have become.
With the momentary high of Halloween now fading, it’s time once again for students to register for courses for the upcoming Winter Term and spring semester.
Five weeks. Five weeks is the amount of time I have left as student at Elon University. There are seven months until I walk across the stage under the oaks with the rest of my class.
A new population on campus now knows how to appropriately report and respond to instances of sexual assault or harassment: members of fraternities and sororities
As Elon Dining, formerly branded as Aramark, moves forward, it has a chance to redesign the university’s dining halls in a way that is much more welcoming.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly a month since Elon University students junior Taylor Zisholtz and freshman Lucy Smith-Williams surprised Acorn Coffee Shop worker Kathryn Thompson with the opportunity to take her family to Disney World.

We’ve compiled a list of do’s and don’ts this Halloween so you can be a Hallowinner and not a Halloweenie.
Without a clear maternal figure or older sister to turn to, I did what any reasonable adolescent would: I turned to the pages of a teen magazine. Seventeen.
As a competitive player in the “No-Shave November” since I started taking part in my high school’s competition, I view Halloween less as a terror and more as the day my legs begin to grow ... well ... hairier.
Elon is all about getting out of your comfort zone and starting to experience new adventures.
Once a year, folks from all walks of life find themselves waking in the middle of the night to an inexplicable autumnal energy flowing across time and space, telling them the time has come. The annual people-watching state championship, otherwise known as the North Carolina State Fair, has arrived.
As someone who teaches courses within the arts and sciences, specifically in the Department of Religious Studies, I often hear students say some variation of the following: “I love my courses in religious studies (insert any other arts and humanities field here), but I need to take a major that will get me a job after college.”
Republican and Democrat events, ideologies and politicians receive polarized treatment here, and it detracts from everyone’s awareness of the political climate as we approach the 2016 presidential elections.
Sports culture encourages athletes to play through pain. It romanticizes toughness, grit and perseverance. That culture also breeds the mindset that a broken bone or a torn ligament will heal, but the chance to compete in sports will be gone before you know it.
I write this from Salt Lake City, at the 6th meeting of the Parliament of World Religions. The Parliament was founded in 1893 in Chicago and has been considered the beginning off the global interfaith movement.
