Although University President Leo Lambert leads the pledge to the honor code, students conduct the majority of the ceremony. "We knew from the beginning (of developing the tradition) we wanted students talking to students," said Mary Wise, associate vice president of academic affairs. [quote]I hope (the honor code) affects the way students interact with each other outside of the classroom, and I want them to be positive and affirming.

"Dora the Explorer" Inspired by Elon Student

By kmaraghy

If sophomore Lilli Zinaman looks vaguely familiar, it may be because you have gone on adventures together. Zinaman's uncle was a co-creator and cartoonist for Dora the Explorer, an animated children's television series created in 2000 that is geared towards helping children learn Spanish. The series has inspired books, movies, video games, and a spin-off series, all of it inspired by Zinaman.

Elon University enrollment drops below 6,000 for first time since 2018

Elon University’s undergraduate enrollment has dipped below 6,000 students for the first time since spring 2018, according to the Spring Registrar’s Report released Feb. 23. This decrease comes after an 11.6% drop in enrollment for the class of 2029. Part of this pattern can be attributed to the “demographic cliff,” the decreasing supply of college students from a falling national birth rate that began in 2007. The total undergraduate enrollment of 5,974 is a decrease from the 6,226 students the university reported in the spring of 2025. It’s also roughly 200 fewer students than the 6,191 reported in fall 2025. Though overall student numbers dropped, there was also an increase of 523 seniors, compared to the fall report.
