I didn’t become a coffee drinker until I came to Elon, but I’ve certainly been making up for lost time ever since. Now, as a senior, coffee makes multiple appearances during my daily routine: I average about 3 cups per day, which happens to segue wonderfully into my favorite Elon tradition… College Coffee happens every Tuesday morning, rain or shine, … Continue Reading

How I Became a Global Citizen

Classroom Experience is the Key to Internship Success!
On the first day of spring semester my freshman year, Elon Professor Janna Anderson walked into our media writing class with a baseball bat and a whistle. “I’m more than just your professor this semester,” she told us, “I’m your coach.” Let’s just say by the end of the semester I could have run a journalism marathon. Throughout the spring … Continue Reading
Study Abroad: It’s More than Just a Stamp in Your Passport
Study abroad was probably the number one thing that I was looking forward to in college – and it was also one of the top reasons I chose Elon. Four years ago there were so many places I wanted to travel (there still are!), and I knew that study abroad was the first step to seeing the world. Elon offers … Continue Reading
