By Sarah Delke

The registration period at Elon is one that can be stressful, time-consuming and difficult, but there is a new idea that may just make this often dreaded time a much simpler one. According to a recent article in USA Today, many colleges are adding midnight classes to their schedules to make room for more students to get the classes they want. Beginning at Bunker Hill community college in Boston, this idea was brought about with the hopes of offering students more variety in their class schedules. Mark Albertson, registrar and assistant to the provost at Elon University, said it has been several years since midnight classes have been considered.

"Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
