Elon monitors study abroad programs

Elon students studying abroad in the Middle East and in London are adjusting to their new lives away from Elon for the Fall Semester.

ISIS stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria". The group has recently been taken to be called IS standing for "Islamic State" and ISIL for the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levent." Since it's founding in 2006, ISIS has been responsible for thousands of deaths. Videos were released in August and in September by ISIS, confirmed by the White House, which show the executions of two American journalists.
