\ision  tor  the  future  began  to  take  shape,  guided  by 
the  Elon  (loniniitment  strategic  plan.  We  witnessed 
the  beginning  of  a  transformation  of  Elon's  residential 
experience  with  construction  of  three  new  residence 
halls  that  form  a  new  quad  adjacent  to  the  Ernest 
A.  Kour\  Sr.  Business  Center.  In  line  with  our 
sustainabilit\  master  plan,  these  new  buildings 
surrttund  Ek)n's  first  geothermal  system  that  will 
provide  en\ironmentally  friendly  heating  and  cooling. 
This  w'as  also  a  year  for  planning  the  next  phases  of 
new  campus  housing,  including  llie  Station  at  Mill 
Point  and  the  (ilobal  Residential  Neighborhood, 
which  will  replace  Story  Center  and  Harper  Center  in 
the  years  ahead. 

Renovations  in  .-Xlumni  G\  m  brought  new  spirit 
and  excitement  for  basketball  and  \olleyball  fans 
this  year,  and  the  opening  of  .Alumni  Field  House  at 
Rhodes  Stadium  provided  a  first-class  home  for  our 
NC.A.A  Division  1  Phoenix  athletics. 

In  celebrating  our  past,  we  marked  the  2.5th 
anniversaiy  of  the  establishment  of  the  Martha 
and  Spencer  Love  School  of  Business,  and  with 
our  eyes  on  future  generations,  we  welcomed  the 
establishment  of  the  Elon  University  Forest,  56  acres 
that  will  forever  be  preserved  in  its  natural  state. 
.Another  historic  milestone  was  the  creation  of  a 
School  of  Health  Sciences,  which  will  include  a  new 
physician  assistant  studies  master's  program  that 
enrolls  its  first  class  in  2013. 

Through  the  Kemodle  Center  for  Service 
Learning  and  Community  Engagement,  we  launched 
Campus  Kitchen  at  Elon  University  to  feed  the  hungry 
of  Alamance  County;  Students  raised  money  to 
support  relief  efforts  in  Japan  following  a  massive 


get  the  facts: 


earthc|uake.  tsunami  and  subsetiueiit  nuclear 
disaster.  Locally,  the  university  rallied  to  help  North 
Carolinians  affected  by  destructix'c  springtime 
tornadoes. 

Elon  welcomed  to  campus  man\  j'jrominent 
scholars,  authors,  journalists  and  public  servants 
this  year,  including  former  Newsweek  editor 
and  Pulitzer  Prize  winner  .Ion  Meacham,  former 
Pakistani  President  Pervez  Mushari-af.  former 
U.S.  Representative  J.C.  Watts,  former  Republican 
National  Committee  chairman  Michael  Steele 
and  religious  scholar  Reza  .Asian.  'Iheir  insights 
shed  light  on  current  e\ents  that  define  our  roles, 
responsibilities  and  opportunities  as  global  citizens. 

Tlie  annual  Convocation  for  Honors  perhaps 
best  represented  our  university's  engagement  with  the 
world.  In  a  panel  discussion  moderated  by  NBC  News 
anchor  Brian  Williams,  five  distinguished  panelists 
explored  the  greatest  challenges  facing  our  nation, 
including  partisan  gridlock,  economic  uncertainty, 
a  decline  in  science  and  technology'  investment, 
religious  friction  and  a  weakened  public  education 
system.  To  summarize  their  conclusions,  in  so  many 
words,  there  is  no  silver  bullet  to  solve  these  vexing 
issues.  Tliere  is  only  you. 

When  you  open  this  Phi  Psi  Cli  yearbook  in 
the  coming  years.  1  hope  you  will  examine  the  ways 
Elon  has  shaped  your  life.  In  what  ways  have  you 
contributed  to  solving  the  challenges  that  confront 
our  society'?  How  do  Elon's  values  influence  the 
contributions  you  make  to  your  community?  These 
are  the  questions  you  were  challenged  to  answer 
during  your  time  on  campus,  and  1  hope  you  will 
continue  to  ask  them  throughout  your  life  of  positive 
work  and  noble  service. 

President  Leo  M.  Lambert

•Achieving  the  Impossible 


l^  Ion  students  are  professional  multitaskers.  We  have  a  knack  for  taking  maximum  cretiils  each  semester, 
participating  in  clubs,  on  sexerai  committees,  \ olunteering,  getting  good  grades,  wiiile  still  managing  our  social  li\  es. 
Our  chaotic  lives  are  somehow  balancetl.  It  is  because  we  put  100%  into  everything  we  do.  This  is  seen  by  how  much 
F.lon  L  ni\ersity  has  flourished  o\  cr  the  past  decade  and  that  is  all  due  to  the  students  and  the  haixl  work  they  do  to 
make  thenisehes  and  I'.lon  better. 

.All  the  e\  ents  this  past  year:  Oi'ientation,  Oi'gani/ation  I'aii',  1  lomecnming  ( ioiiccrt,  I  lomecnming  week  and  the  game. 
Luminaries,  etc,  are  all  because  of  I'Jon  students.  We  make  those  exents  happen.  We  actuallx  ha\e  a  say  and  I'.lon 
listens.  That  is  something  trul\  unique  to  Klon. 

To  those  students  just  ani\  ing  or  tlnally  getting  their  Oak  sapling  soak  it  up,  leave  a  legacy,  and  never  forget  where 
you  bELONg.

/er  100  members  of  the  Orientation  team  kicked  the  highly  anticipated  move-in  day  into  high  gear.  They  got  the 
move  on  bright  and  early  at  6:30  a.m.,  and  .started  to  move  in  the  freshman  class  of  2014.  Moms,  dads,  brothers,  and 
sisters  helped  the  new  students  begin  the  start  of  a  new  chapter  in  their  life  -  college. 

Freshman  Maggie  Rousseau  said,  "I  was  wicked  nervous  to  move  in,  but  everyone  made  me  feel  so  welcome,  and  by 
the  end  I  was  so  e.xcited  to  get  to  know  everyone  better!"  An  upperclassman  on  the  Orientation  team  greeted  each  new 
student  and  helped  without  question  to  move  boxes  upon  boxes  up  flights  of  stairs.  By  the  end  of  the  day,  everyone 
was  exhausted  but  the  feeling  of  accomplishment  moving  the  newest  Elon  class  in  was  rewarding  for  ever>'one.

residential  areas,  an  Elon  Athletics  Pep  Rally  and  Extravaganza  as  well  as  a  Community  on  the  Commons 
event  with  live  music.  Students  got  to  meet  others  in  their  Elon  101  groups  as  well  as  in  their  residence 
halls.  The  weekend  also  included  special  events  like  New  Student  Convocation  and  informational 
Orientation  sessions.  Students  learned  right  away  what  it  means  to  be  an  'Elon  student'  and  all  of  values  of 
this  remarkable  institution.  The  exhilarating  weekend  ended  with  the  start  of  an  exciting  new  school  year

Mosley  on  a  hot  September  day. 

Elon  students  came  out  to  sign  up  for  clubs  to  meet  new 
friends,  learn  a  new  hobby,  or  see  what  their  friends  have 
been  up  too.  Members  of  each  organization  set  up  tables 
to  showcase  what  their  organization  was  all  about  and  to 
answer  any  questions  and  to  encourage  students  to  sign 
up  for  their  club. 

Many  clubs  were  giving  away  candy  freeze  pops,  and 
information  students  could  take  with  them  about  the 
club.  There  was  upbeat  music  to  keep  the  mood  light,  and 
everyone  found  something  extra  to  fill  up  that  one  ounce

othing  IS  better  than  sharing  your  college  experience  for  one  weekend  with  your  parents.  Families 
invade  Elon  during  the  first  weekend  of  October  to  attend  a  football  game,  meet  with  their  child's  professors 
see  how  clean  their  child's  room  actually  is,  and  restock  the  refrigerator. 

Parents  love  coming  to  Elon  just  as  much  as  the  students  do!  There  was  a  golf  tournament  on  Friday  as  well 
as  a  women's  soccer  game.  On  Saturday  there  were  all  sorts  of  activities  for  every  member  of  the  family 
semmars  for  the  Grandparents  and  sibling  activities  for  the  youngsters.  The  annual  Family  Weekend  Picnic 
was  a  great  success  as  families  ate  by  Lake  Mary  Nell  before  the  football  game.  It  was  a  gorgeous  weekend 
for  fanzines  to  reunite  with  their  children.

captain  of  the  Varsity  Volleyball  team  has  lived  in  her  Oaks  apartment  since 
sophomore  year.  Why  does  she  choose  to  stay  on  campus?  "1  love  the  fact  that 
it  takes  me  two  minutes  to  walk  to  class  and  it  is  close  to  the  gym  for  practices." 
Her  apartment  has  become  literally  a  second  home  for  her,  and  she  says,  "Our

Residence  Life  finds  living  accommodations  for  all  2,900  students  that  live  on

\—  Ion  started  a  new  tradition  this  year  for 
Homecoming  by  liaving  a  concert  to  celebrate  the 
weekend  and  all  of  the  alumni  coming  back  to  where 
they  bELONg. 

Sam  Adams,  a  22-year-old  rapper  who  calls  himself 
"Boston's  Boy"  jet-setted  down  to  Burlington  to 
get  the  Homecoming  weekend  started.  Nearly 
3,000  students  and  alumni  came  to  listen  to  Adams 
sing  his  hit  single,  an  Asher  Roth  spin  off,  "1  Hate 
College."  Before  arriving  to  Elon,  Sam  Adams  was 
clearly  mentally  preparing  himself  for  the  arrival  on 
a  college  campus  by  utilizing  Twitter  to  ask  about 
Elon's  students. 

A  college  student  himself  and  a  soccer  stud,  Adams 
had  all  of  Elon  jamming  to  his  music.  It  was  a  great 
way  to  start  the  weekend  off.  Adams  performed 
several  songs  from  of  his  new  album,  "Boston's  Boy," 
including  "Coast  to  Coast,"  "Driving  me  Crazy"  and 
"Tab's  Open."

r\  s  an  esteemed  school,  Elon  University 
hosted  many  prestigious  speakers  throughout 
the  past  school  year 

During  the  fall  semester,  students  were  fortunate 
enough  to  hear  speeches  by  ambassadors 
such  as  Dr  Reza  Asian  and  Pervez  Musharraf, 
international  leaders  in  the  realms  of  religion 
and  on  politics  in  the  Middle  East,  respectively 

The  year  2011  brought  more  amazing  speakers 
to  campus.  One  event  in  particular  was  the 
Spring  Convocation  of  Honors  panel.  Brian 
Williams  is  the  NBC  Nightly  News  anchor,  and 
monitored  the  discussion,  "We  can  be  better: 
Courageous  voices  confront  our  greatest 
challenges."  The  panel  consisted  of  David 
Gergen,  David  Walker,  Shirley  Ann  Jackson, 
Eboo  Patel,  and  David  Levin.  While  students 
approach  a  world  with  many  crises,  David 
Gergen,  political  analyst  for  CNN  and  advisor 
to  four  U.S.  presidents  said,  "My  hope  is  that 
you  all  as  students  won't  buy  into  that,  that  you 
won't  accept  it  as  an  answer  The  call  to  your 
generation  is  whether  you  can  rally  for  this 
country,  revive  it  and  rebuild  it  based  on  the 
values  you  have  learned  from  Elon." 

Students  were  extremely  fortunate  to  hear  these 
world  voices  throughout  the  year,  and  it  proves 
Elon's  commitment  to  engaging  students  on  a 
global  level.

I    he  sun  was  out,  old  friends  were  back  in  town  and  sounds  of  football  were  ringing;  some  days  just  don't  get  any  ^ 
better  than  that.  Elon  football  was  matched  against  the  Wofford  Terriers  for  the  Saturday  game.  The  Elon  football 
team  fought  hard  to  erase  a  21-0  second-half  deficit  with  three  touchdown  passes  to  .Scott  Riddle  and  an  unbreakabl 
defense. 

The  crowd,  proudly  sporting  their  maroon  and  gold  (and  sundresses)  cheered  loudly  for  the  lively  half-time  show 
featuring  the  Eire  of  the  Carolinas.  Also  during  half-time  was  the  unveiling  of  the  Homecoming  Queen  and  King  This! 
year's  winners  were  Kelli  Accardi  from  Alpha  Omicron  Pi  and  Ian  Maxwell  from  Isabella  Cannon  Leadership  Proarart 
Congratulations!  ^ 

Back  in  the  second  half,  the  Terriers  spoiled  Elon's  good  fortune  with  a  41-  yard  touch  down  pass  with  onlv  nine 
■conds  to  play.  The  Phoenix  lost  28-21.  "  ;' 

Regardless  of  the  outcome,  Elon  always  looks  forward  to  having  alumni  back  who  have  all  made  such  an  impact  on 
tb^l^rent  students.  ^

U  one  of  the  most  beloved  traditions  by  Elon  students,  this  year's  Holiday  Luminaries  celebration  did  not 
disappoint.  At  6:30  pm  on  Dec.  2,  Elon's  campus  was  lit  up  with  hundreds  of  luminaries  laid  along  the  walkways 
and  decorative  lights  on  the  trees.  Carolers  sang  Christmas  tunes  on  the  steps  of  Alamance  and  a  Menorah  was  lit 
in  celebration  of  the  second  night  of  Hanukkah.  Hot  chocolate 
and  hot  cider  was  served  as  students,  faculty  staff,  and  the 
community  braved  the  cold  weather  to  commend  the  holiday 
season.  The  ceremony  was  opened  by  Chaplain  Phil  Smith,  who 
encouraged  everyone  to  enjoy  the  festivities.  Although  the  usual 
train  did  not  make  an  appearance  at  this  year's  celebration,  Santa 
and  Mrs.  Claus  spread  holiday  cheer  and  were  happy  to  take 
pictures  with  children  and  students.  Junior,  Christie  Quinn  said 
the  luminaries  are  one  of  her  favorite  nights  at  Elon.  "Luminaries 

are  like  my  birthday  but  better,"  said  Quinn.  "It  is  impossible  to  be  unhappy  when  you're  surrounded  by  such 
cheerful  holiday  songs,  hot  chocolate  and  cider,  and  a  thousand  twinkling  little  lights.  Luminaries  are  a  great  time 
for  Elon  to  come  together  and  take  time  out  of  their  busy  schedules  to  just  be  eat,  drink  and  be  merry"

or  Elon  students,  being  fit  and  healthy  is  a  big  part  of  life.  And  Campus  Recreation  is  the  place  to  go  for  an 
amazing  range  of  options  on  how  to  stay  in  shape.  From  the  fitness  center,  to  group  exercise  classes,  to  hiking 
trips  with  Elon  Outdoors,  Campus  Rec  has  something  for  everyone. 

This  year,  Campus  Rec  held  annual  campus-wide  events  such  as  the  Turkey  Trot  in  the  fall  and  the  Bench  Press 
Competition  in  the  spring.  The  Turkey  Trot  is  a  5k  race  that  occurs  just  before  Thanksgiving  break.  The  race  is 
open  to  all  students,  faculty,  and  staff,  and  Campus  Rec  even  offers  a  training  program  for  beginners.  Campus 
Rec  also  offered  other  voluntary  programs  throughout  the  year  such  as  Sportsfest,  and  Swim  to  Florida,  where 
students  can  try  to  swim  the  equivalent  number  of  miles  it  would  take  to  get  to  Florida. 

Sophomore  Alyssa  Dilly  works  in  the  fitness  department  and  said  she  loves  her  job  because  of  the  great 
relationships  she  has  made.  "It's  fun!  I  get  to  walk  around  and  talk  to  people,  making  sure  they  are  using  the 
equipment  safely,"  said  Dilly.  "1  also  love  the  staff.  Everyone's  so  nice  and  all  the  departments  get  along  well 
which  creates  a  great  workplace  unity."

ne  of  the  many  great  things  about  Elon  is  the  meaningful  traditions  of  the 
University.  From  College  Coffee,  where  students  and  professors  come  together 
over  breakfast,  to  the  enchanting  Holiday  Luminaries,  Elon  traditions  help  to 
make  the  college  experience  even  more  memorable. 

A  great  Elon  tradition  is  College  Chapel,  which  is  held  in  Whitley  Auditorium 
every  Thursday  This  year,  faculty,  staff,  and  student  speakers  shared  events  in 
their  life  that  helped  shape  who  they  are  today  Another  fun  tradition  always 
occurs  around  the  holidays.  The  Holiday  Luminaries  is  one  of  students'  favorite 
nights  on  campus,  and  the  community  is  welcome  as  well.  Luminaries  are  laid 
along  the  walkways  and  the  campus  foliage  is  decorated  with  lights.  A  holiday 
celebration  accompanies  the  lighting,  including  a  visit  from  Santa  Claus,  and  a 
lighting  of  the  menorah.  Along  with  the  luminaries.  President  Lambert  annually 
invites  the  entire  student  body  for  a  holiday  celebration  at  his  house,  where 
they  can  enjoy  food  and  get  their  picture  taken  with  him. 

Other  traditions  include  the  Turning  21  Dinner  for  those  students  who 
recently  had  their  twenty-first  birthday,  and  New  Student  Convocation  and 
graduation  under  the  oaks  behind  West  dorm.  It  is  these  annual  gatherings  that 
help  give  Elon  personality  and  engage  students  in  creating  their  own  college 
memories.

his  year,  Elon's  annual  charity  dance  marathon,  Elonthon,  was  another  great  success.  The 
event  is  an  24-hour  dance  marathon  held  each  year  to  help  raise  money  and  awareness  for  Duke 
Children's  Hospital.  Over  1,200  students  registered  to  dance  for  one  six-hour  shift,  or  all  24  hours, 
to  support  children  with  life-threatening  and  terminal  diseases,  some  of  whom  were  present  at  the 
marathon. 

Elonthon's  theme  for  this  year  was  "For  the  kids:  Impossible  is  nothing,"  based  off  of  an  Adidas 
campaign.  Director  of  Elonthon,  senior  Alex  Lawrence,  said  the  kids,  families,  and  students  can 
really  relate  to  the  theme  and  its  positive  message  of  striving  to  become  a  champion.  To  raise 
awareness  for  the  event,  the  Elonthon  executive  committee  held  events  throughout  the  year  such 
as  profit  shares,  car  washes,  bake  sales,  and  participated  in  the  RadioThon  at  Duke. 

"The  most  rewarding  part  of  Elonthon  is  the  relationships  1  have  formed  with  the  families  over  the 
past  few  years,"  said  Lawrence.  "It  is  amazing  to  see  what  the  awareness  means  to  these  families, 
and  how  much  we  are  making  a  difference  in  their  lives.  These  kids  are  such  heroes  to  me  for  what 
they  have  been  through."

s  a  student  at  Elon  University,  1  often  find  myself  trying  to  appreciate 
all  that  is  around  me.  With  so  much  academic  success  as  well  as 
extracurricular  achievement,  it  is  quite  easy  to  be  proud  of  such  an 
amazing  institution.  Within  this  overachieving  community  people  tend 
to  look  for  their  niche,  their  place.  My  place  is  in  the  Greek  community 
As  a  proud  member  of  the  Panhellenic  Counsel  at  Elon  University  I  am 
honored  to  have  worked  with  so  many  talented  women  and  created 
strong  friendships  outside  of  my  organization.  It  is  a  privilege  to  be  part 
of  a  collaborative  effort  with  people  that  share  the  common  bond  of 
sisterhood. 

To  describe  the  best  part  of  my  involvement  in  Panhellenic  at  Elon 
University  would  be  an  impossible  task.  I  believe  that  all  the  women 
on  the  Panhellenic  Counsel  would  agree  with  me  that  they  have  gained 
a  sense  of  responsibility  dedication  and  hard  work  through  service 
opportunities,  social  events  and  educational  programs.  Panhellenic 
empowers  and  engages  Greek  women  at  Elon  University  to  stay  active 
and  involved. 

Aside  from  the  opportunity  to  meet  so  many  people,  the  experiences 
we  have  shared  are  preparing  us  to  be  successful  leaders  outside  of  the 
college  community. 

The  Elon  University  Panhellenic  Council  governs  the  female  fraternities 
and  sororities  that  are  members  of  the  National  Panhellenic  Conference 
(NPC).  It  promotes  cooperation  and  cohesiveness  within  the  Greek 
community  oversees  formal  recruitment  for  its  member  groups  and 
sponsors  service  opportunities,  social  events  and  educational  programs 
throughout  thfe  year.

he  Interfraternity  Council  of  Elon  University  stands  as  the  governing  body 
for  the  male  fraternities  that  are  members  of  the  North  American  Interfraternity 
Conference.  Our  council  believes  in  true  fraternity  values  of  social  and  moral 
responsibility  coupled  with  loyalty  to  principles  of  higher  education  and 
stewardship  to  the  surrounding  Elon  community  Elon's  IPC  is  currently  revisiting 
its  constitution  to  make  way  for  even  more  positive  growth  and  its  vision  for 
upcoming  years  includes  establishing  a  more  unified  Greek  community 

This  year,  we  have  successfully  brought  a  new  fraternity 
to  campus,  contributed  over  6000  hours  of  community 
service,  maintained  a  GPA  well  above  the  all-male 
average  for  Elon's  campus  and  instituted  new  methods 
for  improving  new  member  GPA's  during  their  first  year  as 
fraternity  men.  While  there  have  been  some  bumps  in  the 
road,  our  executive  council  as  well  as  all  of  our  members 
are  continually  striving  to  improve  our  fraternities  and 
ensure  that  our  council  is  the  best  that  it  can  be.

ake  care  of  your  people  and  they  will  take  care  of  you.  It  is  not  just  a  saying  but  also  a  way  of  life 
for  an  Air  Force  Officer.  Through  out  the  Air  Force  Reserve  Officer  Training  Corps  (AFROTC),  the 
program  which  prepares  cadets  to  be  future  leaders  as  officers  in  the  United  .States  Air  Force,  this 
basic  concept  of  servant  leadership  is  driven  home.  In  order  to  become  an  officer,  one  must  have  a 
college  degree,  and  the  ROTC  program  is  designed  to  give  cadets  their  basic  military  training  while 
they  earn  their  degrees. 

On  the  day  before  graduation,  graduating  cadets  are  commissioned  as  Second  Lieutenants  in 

their  respective  branch 

of  service  just  like  any 

military  academy.  1 

chose  ROTC  instead  of  an 

academy  because  1  wanted 

to  have  both  the  military 

and  regular  college  life 

experience. 

We  study  Air  Force  history 

and  the  art  and  science  of 

leadership  in  our  classes. 

We  then  apply  what 

we  have  learned  in  the 

classroom  in  our  weekly 

lab  using  teambuilding 

exercises  and  drills  to 

practice  leadership  and 

followership.  Freshman 

year  is  all  about  learning 

the  basics  such  as  customs  and  cortices,  how  to  wear  the  uniform,  basic  knowledge,  and  drill 

(marching).  Sophomore  year  is  all  about  gearing  up  for  Field  Training,  which  is  the  basic  officer 

training  for  all  AFROTC  cadets  at  Maxwell  AFB,  Alabama  during  the  summer.  There  we  learn 

expeditionary  skills,  time  management,  team  building  concepts,  and  perform  a  mock  deployment  to 

Camp  Selby  Mississippi.  Junior  and  senior  year  we  practice  and  develop  our  leadership  styles,  learn 

about  current  national  security  issues,  and  prepare  to  go  on  active  duty. 

The  program  has  been  a  great  experience  and  given  me  many  unique  experiences.  I  went  to  jump 
school  where  I  made  my  first  freefall  skydives,  worked  with  B-1  bombers,  went  on  KC-135  aerial 
refueling  missions,  and  became  a  military  training  instructor  at  Field  Training.  I  have  also  improved 
my  public  speaking  through  the  numerous  briefings  we  give  in  the  program,  as  well  as  personnel 
management  while  1  was  Cadet  Wing  Commander  in  charge  of  approximately  125  Cadets.  1  know 
these  experiences  have  well  prepared  me  for  flight  school,  which  is  where  1  plan  on  going  after 
graduation,  as  well  as  any  other  endeavor  I  engage  in  for  the  rest  of  my  life. 

TED  SLUSHER  |  C/COL,  AFROTC 


joined  ESA  the  spring  of  my  freshman 
year  because  in  high  school  I  was  involved  in 
community  service  and  1  wanted  to  continue  doing 
it  in  college.  ESA  offers  a  fun,  social  aspect  while 
still  having  service  at  its  core.  Being  a  member  of 
the  Epsilon  Sigma  Alpha  community  and  serving 
on  the  executive  board  has  brought  much  joy  to 
my  life.  I  have  been  able  to  help  children,  serve 
animals  and  work  in  gardens.  I  have  also  been  able 
to  visit  on  of  our  philanthropies:  St.  Jude's  Children 
Research  Hospital  in  Memphis,  TN. 

It  was  rewarding  to  see  the  work  that  goes  into 
saving  children's  lives  and  how  my  efforts  have 
helped  achieve  some  of  the  children's  dreams. 
Being  a  part  of  Epsilon  Sigma  Alpha  has  been  a 
gratifying  experience  not  only  in  the  service  I  have 
done,  but  also  in  the  unforgettable  memories  that  1 
have  made  with  great  friends.

different  events  to  Elon  students.  "The  best  thing 
about  SUB  is  that  if  there  is  a  performer  or  activity 
that  is  not  on  campus,  join  and  you  can  make  it 
iappen!"said  Gregg.

--^  GA  IS  the  voice  of  the  students  here  on  campus.  We  are  the  main  link  between  the  student  body  and  Elon 
admmistration  and  it  is  our  job  to  make  sure  that  the  students  are  accurately  represented  in  every  decision 
that  IS  made  on  campus.  Whether  it  be  an  issue  with  student  life,  Elon  transportation,  or  discussion  of  new 
renovations  around  campus  it  is  our  job  to  make  sure  that  we  make  decisions  that  are  best  for  the  students. 

SGA's  impact  can  be  felt  all  around  campus.  We  have  helped  improve  parking,  given  feedback  on  meal  plans 
and  dimng  options,  and  helped  bring  the  textbook  rental  program  to  the  campus  bookstore  The  Senate  is  a 
group  of  motivated  individuals  who  are  not  afraid  to  challenge  the  norm  and  give  constructive  criticism  when 
needed.  It  is  a  fun  job,  but  everyone  on  SGA  knows  that  they  serve  a  purpose  and  year  after  year  they  step  ud  to 
the  challenge.  j       f    f

he  Klon  University  Gospel  Choir  is  not  just  an 
organization;  we  are  a  family.  Under  the  umbrella 
of  EUGC,  we  have  five  different  ministries:  the  mass 
choir,  praise  team,  step  squad  (Order  My  Steps),  dance 
ministry  (Urgent  Message)  and  poetry  ministry  (Pot- 
ter's Poets).  Each  of  these  ministries  adds  to  the  overall 
desire  of  the  Choir,  which  is  to  reach  the  world  for  God 
through  different  aspects  of  the  arts.  We  are  commit- 
ted to  using  our  gifts  to  enhance  the  Kingdom  of  God 
and  be  a  beacon  of  light  on  this  campus. 

The  Gospel  Choir  is  made  up  of  about  40  members. 
We  sing  in  various  places  throughout  the  community, 
including  Elon  First  Baptist,  First  Baptist  of  Elon,  and 
Elon  Community  Church.  We  also  sing  and  perform 
at  many  different  events  on  campus  including  Greek 
events,  open  mic  nights,  and  cultural  events.  We  have 
one  main  concert  each  semester,  an  extravaganza  with 
other  local  college  choirs  in  the  spring,  as  well  as  a 
multi-city  weeklong  tour  in  the  spring.  Elon  University 
Gospel  Choir  is  a  constantly  growing  ministry  that  has 
one  goal:  to  fulfill  God's  purpose  for  our  ministry  and 
reach  souls  for  Christ.

keeping  an 


open  mind 


A, 


,fter  going  through  the  S.M.A.Il  T  program  my 
treslimen  year  I  realized  it  was  an  integral  part  of  tiie 
college  experience  for  multicultural  students,  for  me,  I 
got  to  connect  with  an  upper  classman  who  was  in  the 
same  major  as  me  as  well  as  the  same  concentration. 
She  actually  helped  me  decide  that  taking  on  a  cinema 
concentration  in  the  communications  department  was 
the  best  option  for  me.  The  program  is  unique  in  itself  from  orientation,  or  Elon  101,  in  that  it  gives  multicultural 
students  a  comfortable  support  system  to  discuss  issues  that  they  might  not  be  comfortable  bringing  up  in 
other  settings.  These  issues  can  range  from  racial  issues  to  socio-economic  status.  In  addition  to  that,  it  gi\  es  a 
medium  in  w  hich  incoming  multicultural  students  can  all  meet  each  other  in  a  social  yet  engaging  atmosphere. 
All  of  these  elements  made  me  want  to  become  a  mentor  and  give  back  to  the  program. 

As  a  member  of  BCS  (Black  Cultural  Society),  I've  had  a  chance  to  aid  and  also  enrich  an  organization  that  is 
one  of  Elon's  oldest  multicultural  organizations.  BC:S  has  provided  a  crucial  environment  and  platform  for 
Elon's  .African  .American  students  to  voice  issues  of  concern  and  produce  programming  to  enrich  as  well  as 
bring  awareness  to  the  black  population  at  Elon.  For  myself  I've  had  the  chance  as  cultural  e\'ents  coordinator 
to  put  on  e\  ents  such  as  "Poker  Face,"  a  panel  dialogue  on  the  correlation  between  race  and  societal  constructs 
of  sexuality.  Most  recently  as  special  events  coordinator  I've  gotten  to  help  one  of  our  organizations  biggest 
e\ents,  the  spring  fashion  show.  With  the  role  of  creative  director,  I  got  to  outline  the  overall  theme  and  scene 
construction  of  the  show.  BCS  has  been  a  pivotal  part  of 
my  experience  at  Elon  as  it  helped  reaffirm  my  cultural 
identity. 

I  feel  that  organizations  like  S.MA.R.T  and  BC:S  are 
significant  in  moving  Elon  toward  its  goal  of  increasing 
diversity  on  our  campus.  In  the  coming  years.  I'd  like 
to  see  Elon  utilize  the  student  voices  and  faces  behind 
these  organizations  because  we  hold  unique  perspectives 
through  experience  that  will  aid  in  brining  our  university 
into  the  vast  diverse  community  it's  cultivating.

inspiring  leaders 


he  Isabella  Cannon  Leadership  Program  is  a  great 
opportunity  for  all  students  to  tune  their  leadership  skills  through 
workshops,  retreats,  service  events,  and  leadership  opportunities. 
It's  a  program  that  consists  of  four  different  phases.  Phase  I  is  all 
about  exploring  your  strengths  and  weaknesses  as  an  emerging 
leader.  Phase  II  consists  of  collaborating  with  other  leaders 
through  a  year-long  project  called  Lead  Labs,  which  worked 
on  projects  such  as  Phoenix  Phanatics,  Career  Services,  and 
validation  of  service  hours  in  the  Kernodle  Center.  In  Phase  III, 
students  identify  and  work  on  a  personal  and  organizational 
change  and  learn  how  to  facilitate  a  group  discussion.  Finally, 
Phase  IV  consists  of  a  yearlong  project  that  gives  back  to  the 
community  which  creates  a  legacy  for  the  members  of  the 
program.

Raising  the  Bar 


d  Ion  students  are  always  up  for  a  challenge.  The 
incoming  freshman  class  had  an  average  GPA  of 
3.94.  They  continue  to  push  themselves  at  Elon 
by  balancing  their  academics  with  extracurricular 
activities.  Giving  back  to  the  community  is  a  strong 
priority  among  Elon  students  -  83  percent  of  students 
dedicate  their  time  to  volunteering.  They  also  push 
themselves  outside  of  their  comfort  zone.  Seventy 
percent  of  Elon  students  take  their  studies  overseas. 

Here  at  Elon,  students  don't  limit  themselves  to 
learning  in  the  classroom.  An  overwhelming  majority 
-  78  percent  -  of  students  complete  internships  as 
undergraduates  to  practice  what  they  have  studied 
and  get  real  life  experience.  It  isn't  uncommon  to  hear 
about  Elon  student  research  either.  On  SURF  (Student 
Undergraduate  Research  Form)  day  the  student  body 
gathers  to  learn  from  their  peers  who  have  dedicated 
their  time  and  energy  to  completing  thorough 
research  studies  on  various  topics.  Elon  students  are 
absolutely  raising  the  bar  for  the  future.

For  senior  Katie  Dirks,  that  means  continuously 
upholding  the  values  of  global  citizenship  and  civic 
engagement,  even  after  her  time  as  a  student  and 
Periclean  Scholar  has  ended.  "Being  a  Periclean 
Scholar  extends  far  beyond  graduation,"  Dirks  said. 
"My  passion  for  and  critical  thinking  about  global 
issues  and  social  justice  will  remain  with  me  for  a 
lifetime." 

While  Vogt  considers  the  program  to  be  very 
rewarding,  she  also  described  it  as  very  grounding. 
"1  think  a  lot  of  us  came  in  as  sophomores  with 
high,  lofty  goals  that  in  reality  were  not  feasible 
given  the  fact  that  all  of  us  are  full-time  students, 
not  full-time  Pericleans,"she  said.  "However,  I  think 
all  of  us  are  better  prepared  to  develop  successful 
projects  in  our  post-graduation  lives  because  of 
this  program.

V_-  arol  Grotness  Belk  Libraiy  is  a  place  for  students  to  study,  research,  and  hide  away  amongst  the  rows  of 
books  and  study  rooms.  With  approximately  300,000  volumes,  access  to  150  online  databases,  and  over  200,000 
CDs  and  DVDs,  students  never  lack  the  resources  they  need  to  complete  assignments.  Students  have  the  ability 
to  access  all  of  Belk  Library's  contents  from  anywhere  on  campus.  However,  Elon  students  typically  enjoy  a  trip 
to  the  Belk  Libraiy  where  they  are  able  to  use  computers,  study  on  the  quiet  floors,  and  work  on  group  projects. 
With  reasonable  working  hours  during  the  week  and  extended  hours  during  exam  time,  students  always  have  the 
opportunity  to  complete  their  work. 

Belk  Library  also  houses  other  services  for  students  such  as  the  tutoring  center,  writing  center,  elite  program,  and 
media  services.  Students  can  walk  into  each  center  when  struggling  with  classes  or  assignments  and  receive  the 
help  that  they  need  to  be  successful. 

Media  services  allow  Elon  students  and  faculty  to  checkout  laptops  and  recording  equipment.  Students  can  utilize 
all  the  resources  of  the  Belk  Library  when  they  need  to.  This  year,  Belk  Library  has  six  Amazon  Kindle  e-books  to

UN 


O, 


nee  a  small  organization  limited  to  Political  Science  students  interested  in  International  Relations, 
the  Model  United  Nations  Society  is  now  a  large  and  inclusive  organization  with  a  number  of  majors, 
concentrations,  and  global  interests.  The  MUN  Society  provides  students  an  opportunity  to  gain  a  better 
understanding  of  global  politics  through  student  led  lectures  and  principally  though  engaged  learning. 
Students  utilize  what  they  learn  during  MUN  lecture  and  what  is  absorbed  during  regular  classes  and 
put  this  knowledge  into  action  during  the  Mock  United  Nations  Security  Council  Sessions.  During  these 
Mock  UNSC  sessions,  students  are  assigned  a  country  on  the  United  Nations  Security  Council  and  asked 
to  debate  the  merits.  They  then  vote  on  UN  resolutions  from  the  perspective  of  their  country.  This  year 
the  MUN  Society  has  enjoyed  unprecedented  achievements  both  on  and  off  campus.  Members  of  MUN 
have  received  the  highest  honors  and  accommodation  at  prestigious  international  relations  conferences, 
including  Georgetown  University,  Duke  University  and  the  U.S.  Military  Academy  at  West  Point.  On 
campus,  the  MUN  Society  has  seen  an  unprecedented  growth  in  membership,  developed  an  organization 
website  (www.elonmun.com),  and  an  increase  in  the  number  International  Relations  students  and 
sections  involved  in  the  International  Crisis  Conference  at  Elon  (ICCE).

or  Honors  Convocation  this  year,  the  Elon  community  was  lucky  enough  to  hear  a  panel  discussion  by  some  very 
influential  people  of  our  time.  The  panelists,  who  were  moderated  by  Brian  Williams,  anchor  and  managing  editor  of 
NBC  Nightly  News,  were  experts  on  a  number  of  prevalent  issues  that  are  plaguing  our  country:  educational  reform, 
financial  stability  religious  equality  sustainability  and  more.  By  sharing  their  experiences  and  insights,  each  panelist 
made  it  clear  that  the  American  people  can  indeed  do  better.  Our  generation  has  been  honored  with  great  opportunity, 
but  also  great  responsibility  1  believe  that  the  audience  was  able  to  relate  to  the  discussion  in  some  way  and  that  each 
person  also  felt  empowered  to  make  a  difference  by  leading  his  or  her  life  with  something  they  are  passionate  about.  Th 
discussion  about  the  future  of  our  country,  and  our  role  as  educated  Americans,  will  stick  with  me  on  whatever  future

CELEBRATE  WEE 


surfday 


I  was  hit  by  such  a  strange  feeling  as  I  walked  up  to  the 
podium  with  my  research  partner,  Alex  Dunn,  on  the  morning  of 
SURF.  The  feeling  was  probably  part  jittery  nerves  from  a  tiny  fear 
of  public  speaking  and  the  large  amounts  of  coffee  I  gulped  down 
to  cure  the  "I'm  so  not  a  morning  person"  disease  that  has  plagued 
me  for  years,  but  1  think  it  also  largely  stemmed  from  a  flashback 
to  freshman  year.  1  can  vividly  remember  reading  about  SURF 
for  the  first  time  as  I  sat  in  my  Barney  dorm  room  and  explicitly 
telling  myself  that  I  would  never  be  part  of  it.  The  opportunity  to 
do  undergraduate  research  seemed  so  far  out  of  my  reach  and  the 
idea  of  dedicating  over  a  year's  worth  of  time  and  energy  to  such 
a  huge  project  was  nothing  short  of  completely  daunting.  So  four 
years  later,  it  was  totally  surreal  to  stand  up  in  front  of  an  audience 
and  present  new  findings  that  had  been  discovered  from  months 
of  literature  reviews,  designing  a  study  recruiting  and  assessing 
participants,  and  finally  compiling  and  analyzing  endless  pages 
of  data  that  had  accumulated  from  it  all.  Our  fifteen  minutes  of 
fame  quickly  flew  by;  1  surprisingly  managed  to  survive  the  public 
speaking  and  I  realized  just  how  quickly  four  years  can  escape 
from  you,  but  I  was  glad  to  have  been  given  the  chance  to  take 
part  in  such  a  rewarding  experience  that  only  served  to  make  my 
time  at  Elon  that  much  more  amazing.

Blasphemy 

I  stopped  believing  in  dod 
after  taking  religion  class. 
Tlie  more  we  analyzed 
each  Biblical  story,  the  less 
likely  it  seemed  that  some 
great,  omniscient  being 
was  responsible  for  humanity. 
No  one  lives  in  the  sky. 
It's  a  bizarre  superstition. 
And  1  thought  of  confirmation 
class  and  how  1  befriended 
the  stoner  boy  and  we  always 
stood  in  the  last  pew  and  only 
pretended  to  sing  about  the  lions 
that  could  eat  our  bodies 
but  couldn't  swallow  our  souls 
when  the  minister  was  looking. 
Egyptian  Ratscrew,  drinking 
hot  chocolate,  and  shameless 
flirting  are  all  1  remember 
from  our  ninth  grade  retreat. 
Tlie  cross  necklace  my  parents 
bought  me  now  screams 
imposter  whenever  1  look  at  it 
hanging  in  my  wooden  armoire 
between  others:  Pocahontas 
and  clay-beaded  and  oversized 
flowered  ones.  But  sometimes 
1  wonder  if  He  does  exist 
and  will  damn  me  for  my 
incredulousness  and  1  almost 
hope  He  is  there  because  1  want 
there  to  be  something  more  than 
just  a  corpse  being  buried 
underneath  the  ground. 
I'd  rather  be  scattered  into 
the  ocean  or  a  body  of  water 
where  1  could  float  on 
with  society  or  a  passing 
bird  would  eat  a  piece 
of  me  and  I  would  become 
one  with  it.

THEATER 


productions 


o, 


ne  of  the  biggest  influences  that  makes  theatrical 
and  dance  productions  at  Elon  so  successful  is  the 
collaboration  process  that  goes  on  months  before  the 
production  is  mounted.  Technically,  the  show  will 
begin  the  design  process  2-3  months  in  advance,  if  time 
allows.  This  includes  .scenery,  costumes,  sound,  props 
and  lighting.  The  casting  and  rehearsal  process  usually 
starts  a  month  or  two  before  the  show  opens.  The 
relationship  between  the  students  and  faculty  also 
aids  the  overall  process.  Tlie  students  are,  often  times, 
trusted  with  certain  aspects  of  the  show  and  follow 
through  with  the  professionalism  that  the  professors 
have  taught  to  them  through  hands  on  experience  and 
in  the  classroom.  The  collection  of  people  that  work 
on  these  shows  are  truly  amazing  professionals  and  the 
amount  of  preparation  that  goes  into  each  production 
make  theatrical  and  dance  productions  the  successes 
that  they  are.

Since  being  founded  10  \ears  ago.  the  ladies  of  Sweet 


O  weet  Signatures  is  Elon's  only  female  a  cappella  group 

Mgnatures  have  certainly  made  a  name  for  themsehes.  lliis  past  year  the  group  released  their  fourth  studio  album 
L.o\e  Affair."  "Love  Affair"  was  selected  to  be  represented  on  two  national  compilation  albums  including  the  Best 
)f  Collegiate  A  Cappella  2011.  The  album  was  also  nominated  for  three  different  CARAs  (Contemporary'  A  Cappella 
Recording  .Awards).  With  the  success  of  their  latest  album  still  growing,  this  couldn't  be  a  better  year  for  the  ladies  of 
Jweet  Signatures  to  celebrate  their  10-year  anniversary. 

A'hen  1  look  back  at  my  college  experience  at  Elon,  being  a  part  of  Sweet  Signatures  is  what  I'll  remember  the  most.  1  got 
nto  the  group  the  spring  of  my  freshman  year.  Being  that  it  was  towards  the  end  of  the  year,  1  didn't  quite  understand 
he  bonds  that  the  seniors  had"  at  that  time.  1  didn't  realize  what  an  impact  this  group  would  have  on  my  life.  But  as  a 
;eniorthis  year,  1  definitely  understand.  Tlie  past  three  \ears  with  this  group  ha\-e  been  incredible.  We've  accomplished 
io  much.  We've  traveled  together,  competed  together,  recorded  an  album  together;  but  more  than  that,  the  people  in 
his  group  have  become  some  of  my  closest  friends.  Doing  something  you  love  with  people  you  love  is  pretty  rare  and 
hat  is  what  Sweet  Signatures  has  been  for  me.  One  of  my  favorite  memories  with  Sweet  Signatures  actually  happened 
;arlier  this  year  in  October  We  tra\'eled  down  to  .lacksonville,  Florida  to  teach  a  high  school  workshop  on  a  cappella 
ind  to  sing  at  a  wedding.  Singing  at  the  wedding  ceremony  is  something  1  will  never  forget.  Singing  as  the  bridal  party 
valked  down  the  aisle  was  prett}-  exciting  but  it  was  the  moment  the  bride  stepped  out  with  her  father  that  was  really 
ncredible.  Our  music  set  the  mood  for  such  a  beautiful  moment  in  the  brides  and  grooms' lives:  1  had  never  felt  such  a 
;ense  of  fulfillment  and  purpose.  The  memories  that  1  have  with  Sweet  Signatures  are  what  define  my  time  here  at  Elon.

MEASURE 


hat  IS  Twisted  Measure?  Tliis  question  is  one  that  I  am  frequently  asked  during  my  time  spent  away  from  Elon's 
campus.  Many  of  the  people  I  come  across  are  not  aware  of  this  college  group,  and  rightfully  so.  We  are  not  large  in 
size,  nor  are  we  nationally  renowned.  So,  what  is  Twisted  Measure?  Those  who  ask  me  are  not  usually  aware  of  the 
complexity  of  their  own  question.  I  almost  always  settle  on  a  basic  and  minimal  answer:  "Twisted  Measure  is  Elon's  only 
co-ed  a  cappella  group.  We  sing  nearly  eveiy  genre  of  music  a  cappella  style  for  events  on  and  off  campus."  For  most 
this  generalization  suffices  just  fine,  but  as  I've  come  to  know  this  group  over  the  past  three  years  I  myself  am  only 
beginning  to  hone  down  a  sufficient  definition. 

First  and  foremost.  Twisted  Measure  is  a  group  of  friends.  Its  members  welcomed  me  with  open  arms  as  a  timid 
directionless  freshman,  and  my  time  at  Elon  has  never  been  the  same.  Twisted  Measure  is  also  a  group  of  music-lovers' 
Not  once  have  I  seen  them  hesitate  at  the  opportunity  to  share  their  passion  with  anyone  willing  to  listen.  Twisted 
Measure  sings  on  stage,  in  stairwells  and  on  street  corners.  It  is  a  group  in  which  you  can't  help  but  be  yourself.  It  is 
a  group  in  which  you  can't  help  but  find  your  voice.  Twisted  Measure  is  a  shoeless,  soulful  black-and-red  fusion  of 
diversity  dedication  and  dance  moves.  Simply  put.  Twisted  Measure  is  so  much  more  than  a  college  organization-  it  is 
a  home.  o       o  .

hile  each  school  offers  internships  for  course  credit,  only  the  majors  within  Elon  University  leave  internships 
IS  an  option.  According  to  their  respective  websites,  the  School  of  Education  requires  at  least  a  14-week  internship, 
md  both  the  Business  School  and  the  School  of  Communications  require  at  least  one  credit  hour.  For  the  Business 
ichool,  this  equates  to  40  hours  of  on-site  service.  For  the  School  of  Communications,  80  hours  are  necessary.   While 
he  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  as  a  whole  does  not  require  students  to  complete  an  internship,  there  are  exceptions 
vithin  majors.  Anthropology  and  human  services  require  internships,  and  exercise  science  requires  a  practicum.  As  for 
he  other  18  majors  within  the  arts  and  sciences,  students  may  voluntarily  complete  an  internship  as  an  elective  credit. 
Hiese  students  are  paired  with  faculty  members  for  off-campus  internships,  though  the  course  requirements  vai7

iving  in  a  learning  community  gives  students  a  unique  experience  tliat's  hard  to  get  in  a  general  dorm.  From 
the  moment  you  move  in,  you  have  something  in  common  with  the  people  living  around  you  and  can  relate  to  one 
another.  We  help  each  other  on  projects,  often  have  classes  together,  and  can  usually  exchange  information  about 
our  field  of  study. 

Learning  communities  are  just  a  lot  of  fun.  We  do  everything  from  watching  Star  Wars  marathons  to  making  music 
videos  in  our  hall.  All  the  learning  communities  compete  for  prizes  and  money  to  participate  in  fun  activities  such  as 
white-water  rafting  or  going  out  for  ice  cream.  At  Elon,  everyone  can  experience  diversity,  and  a  learning  community 
is  a  great  way  to  zero  in  on  other  people  who  are  a  lot  like  you  but  whom  you  can  still  learn  a  lot  from.

hese  last  four  years  have  been  a 
tremendous  experience  for  me.  Living 
overseas,  I  tiiought  I'd  seen  it  all,  but 
every  day  brought  some  sort  of  cultural 
exchange.  1  was  always  meeting  new 
students,  faculty  and  making  friends.  The 
Elon  experience  has  given  me  a  global 
education  as  well  as  a  global  perspective, 
leaving  me  equipped  with  the  right  tools 
in  order  to  succeed  wherever  I  am  in  the

Being  a  leadership  fellow  has  definitely  given  me  opportunities 
that  I  may  not  have  been  able  to  experience  otherwise.  1  have 
really  enjo\ed  the  extra  classes  that  we  take  as  part  of  the 
program. 

One  that  stands  out  for  me  is  the  Psychology  of  Leadership. 
In  that  class,  we  took  a  variety  of  personality  assessments  that 
helped  us  understand  oursehes  as  a  leader.  We  also  created  a 
leadership  development  portfolio  that  was  an  analysis  of  each 
assessment.  This  portfolio  has  been  so  useful  and  1  ha\'e  even 
used  it  in  job  inter\ie\vs. 

It  has  allowed  me  to  get  to  know  myself  better  than  1  would  have 
otherwise  and  this  has  prepared  me  for  my  next  phase  in  life.  1 
have  also  made  great  friends  with  my  class  members  in  Fellows

There  are  opportunities  for  any  student  to  get  involved  in  the  program  whether  it  is  to  take  a  couple  of

you  gained  in  the  classroom  or  at  cultural  events  and  utilize  these  skills  in  a  country  of  your  choice.  In  the

>ince  2000,  Elon  students  have  conducted  frequent  regional  and  statewide  surveys  about  issues  of 
importance  to  North  Carolinians.  Tliree  times  each  semester,  political  science  students  come  together 
in  the  computer-assisted  telephone  interviewing  lab  and  contact  the  public  about  important  issues.  The 
Elon  University  Poll  is  recognized  as  the  "poll  of  record  in  North  Carolina"  by  several  pubhc  opinion 
surveys. 

Each  poll  is  generally  conducted  over  a  several  day  period  and  the  poll  seeks  to  measure  issues  and 
policies.  Hie  poll  results  are  analyzed  in  an  attempt  to  understand  what  citizen  perspectives  are  and  who 
they  are  supporting  at  the  time.  Hie  results  are  provided  two  days  later  for  the  Elon  Community  to  read 
for  themselves.  Hie  Elon  Poll  provides  the  opportunity  for  students  to  understand  something  bigger  than 
what  is  found  on  Elon  campus  by  getting  involved  in  a  current  issue.  Students  use  the  research  provided 
from  the  polls  in  classroom  situations.  Lumen  scholar  opportunities,  and  research  projects. 

With  changing  political  issues  and  new  laws  surveys  continuously  changing,  they  still  provide  a  better 
understanding  of  North  Carolinians.

ire  of  the  Carolinas,  Elon  University's 
marching  band,  is  a  contemporary 
marching  ensemble  that  provides 
performances  on  the  field  and  in  the  stands 
at  all  Elon  home  football  events.  Founded 
in  2001,  the  Fire  of  the  Carolinas  includes 
winds,  percussion,  color  guard,  and  a  dance 
team.  Students  become  part  of  a  family 
even  though  they  come  from  different 
backgrounds  and  pursue  different  majors. 
The  marching  band  has  a  strike  schedule 
to  ensure  that  every  bet  and  movement  is 
perfect  for  the  performance.  The  students 
who  are  a  part  of  the  Fire  of  Carolinas 
are  dedicated  to  what  they  do  and  are 
motivated  to  do  their  best  every  time. 

From  their  white  shoes  to  their  plumes 
on  top  of  their  hats,  the  marching  band 
provides  entertainment  at  every  home 
game  and  also  travels  with  the  football 
team  to  some  away  games.  The  dance  team 
and  color  guard  also  support  the  football 
team  with  energetic  skills.  To  encourage 
spirit  throughout  the  game,  the  band  and 
color  guard  play  pep  tunes  to  get  the  crowd 
on  its  feet.  This  year  marked  the  band's 
tenth  season,  and  during  the  halftime  show

FALL  study  abroad 


would  be  lying  if  I  said  studying 
abroad  was  not  a  life-changing 
experience  for  me.  It  was  by  far  one 
of  the  best  experiences  of  my  life  and 
I  would  give  anything  in  the  world  to 
go  back  to  Australia.  Although  I  hardly 
knew  any  people  on  my  trip,  1  came 
back  with  some  of  the  best  friends  1  now 
have  at  Elon.  I  also  had  the  opportunity 
to  make  friendships  with  numerous 
Australians  as  well  as  people  from 
all  over  the  world,  including  Africa 
and  New  Zealand.  I  would  have  never 
imagined  the  friendships  1  made  on 
this  trip  and  know  1  will  keep  in  touch 
with  them  for  the  rest  of  my  life.  From 
the  moment  I  got  there  to  the  moment 
I  left,  I  had  the  time  of  my  life,  and  it 
was  beyond  anything  I  would  have  ever 
imagined. 


1  did  not  want  to  come  back  from 
Australia  at  all,  but  life  goes  on.  This  trip 
taught  me  what  really  matters  in  life, 
especially  when  you  tiy  to  live  off  of 
nothing  but  your  own  resources!  I  also 
discovered  the  importance  of  opening 
up  outside  of  the  "Elon  bubble"  and 
exploring  the  world.  If  it  were  not  for 
Australia,  I  do  not  think  my  life  would 
be  complete.

STUDY  ABROAD 


B, 


oarding  my  flight  from  Newark,  DE  to  Rome,  Italy  was  one  of  the  most  exciting  moments  for  me.  1  had 
been  anticipating  this  since  1  was  taking  the  pre-departure  classes  for  my  winter  term  class.  Cathedral:  Messages 
of  Power.  My  classes  over  the  course  of  my  fall  semester  had  thoroughly  prepared  me  for  my  study  abroad  to  Italy, 
Heidelberg,  The  Netherlands  and  France.  Tlie  instant  my  classmates  and  1  landed  in  Rome,  1  knew  we  were  being 
granted  an  opportunity  that  was  rarely  experienced.  Elon  University  prides  itself  in  providing  its  students  with  these 
experiences.  Elon  is  unsurpassed  by  any  other  university  with  studying  abroad,  and  our  international  programs  are 
true  testaments  to  this.  1  was  given  the  opportunity  to  travel  and  gain  a  greater  understanding  of  cathedrals  and 
the  architectural  importance  of  various  designs  in  the  buildings.  My  study  abroad  experience  not  only  gave  me  the 
experience  and  confidence  to  travel  independently  in  an  international  setting,  but  it  also  gave  me  the  experience  to 
interact  with  people  from  a  multitude  of  cultures.  1  grew  as  an  individual  during  my  study  abroad  and  matured  in 
realizing  that  traveling  or  living  internationally  could  be  something  that  I  would  be  interested  in  for  my  future.  My 
study  abroad  experience  is  one  moment  that  I  will  treasure  forever  and  I  will  always  remember  it  as  one  of  the  best 
experiences  I  was  given  at  Elon.

'  tudy  abroad  has  really  been  one  of  my  most 

rewarding  experiences  at  Elon.  I  spent  tiiis  past 

spring  semester  in  Paris,  France  in  a  home  stay 

in  one  of  Paris's  suburbs.  Studying  abroad  is  an 

amazing  opportunity  to  learn  about  another 

country's  culture  and  traditions.  This  experience 

has  been  as  equally  fun  and  enjoyable  as  it  has 

been  eye-opening  and  meaningful.  Few  people  get 

to  step  out  of  their  comfort  zones  and  experience 

life  through  a  different  cultural  lens.  Elon  teaches 

its  students  to  Think  Globally  and  Act  Locally' 

which  I've  been  able  to  embrace  while  abroad 

through  learning  a  completely  different  language 

in  a  country  with  completely  different  customs 

and  traditions.

best  sumuKT  oliiiN  lile.  I  studieil  ami 
iiitci'iu'd  abniad  with  nine  other  I'Jim 
students  in  London  from  May  throui^li 
mid  Juh'.  I  instantly  fell  in  love  vvitli  my 
roommates.  I  couldn't  believe  that  in 
my  tiiree  years  at  Klon  I  had  never  met 
them  before.  We  planned  day  trips  to  the 
countryside  and  weekend  trips  to  places 
around  Rurope  tliat  we'd  always  wanted 
to  travel  -  with  the  help  of  Ryanair.  It 
was  an  incredible  experience.  Everything 
from  trying  an  elk  burger  in  Stockholm, 
Sweden  to  celebrating  my  21"  birthday  in 
Prague  was  unforgettable. 

I  also  fell  in  love  with  the  company 

where  I  was  interning.  Aylwin 

( 'ommiinications  is  a  property  public 


relations  lirm  that  manages  clients 
from  engineers  to  conti^actors.  I 
worked  closely  with  the  owner  of  the 
company,  Richard  Aylwin,  who  took 
me  under  his  wing  and  really  showed 
me  the  ins  and  outs  of  the  company. 
He  even  allowed  me  to  tag  along  to 
assist  him  in  personal  client  meetings. 
I  will  never  forget  the  hospitality 
that  he  and  his  colleagues  showed 
me.  Although  it  has  been  almost  a 
year  since  my  internship,  1  still  keep 
in  touch  with  everyone  at  Aylwin. 
Ihey  welcomed  me  with  open  arms 
into  their  way  of  life  and  opened 
my  eyes  to  the  incredible  London 
culture,  as  well  as  the  professional 
business  world.  I  hope  that  someday 
I  can  return  to  London  to  visit  my 
colleagues  that  1  can  confidently  call 
my  friends.

OMMENCEMENT 


May  21, 2011 


'\er  1.200  senior  gratliuites  niai'ched  across  Klon's 
ipus  to  sit  under  tiie  oaks  for  the  one  hundred  tvventy- 
I'st      eommeneenient      eeremony.      'I'he 
[■reniony  began  witii  opening  remarks 
d  a  prayer  from   Rev.   Phillip   Smith, 
ul    the    seniors    were    welcomed    h\ 
president     of     the     Elon     Alumni 
lard,   ('hristopher  Martin   78.   Michael 
•  iwak,  Senior  Class  President,  gave  the 
|-aduates  words  of  encouragement  and 
ipreciation,  emphasizing  all  the  changes 
n  has  occurred  during  the  past  four 
I  ^  and  how  important  it  was  that  the 
Miors  had  changed  and  grown  with  the 
ii\ersity      draduates  then  listened   to 
|ce  Admii-al  William  Gortney's  address  titled  "The  Secrets 
Guaranteed  Wealth."  Admiral  Gortney  emphasized  that 
lealth  is  not  just  a  lump  sum  of  earnings  throughout  one's 


professional  career,  but  also  a  collection  of  aci|uired  traits 

that  build  strong  character,  such  as  passion,  integrity  and 
honor.  The  seniors  then  walked  across  the 
stage  to  receive  a  well-earned  diploma 
and  then  gathered  by  the  fountain  to 
receive  their  oak  sapling.  Graduates  were 
full  of  mixed  emotions  -  sadnes.s,  joy, 
nostalgia,  excitement  -  just  to  name  a  few. 
Vlichael  Nowak  described  the  feeling  as 
"bittersweet."  Graduates  were  proud  of 
their  accomplishments  and  achievements, 
however  sad  to  leave  friends  and  loved 
ones  that  they  became  so  close  to  during 
their  college  years.  As  seniors  walked 
away  from  the  commencement  ceremony, 

they  remembered  all  the  good  times  while  looking  forward 

to  embarking  on  new  adventures.

'  eniors,  can  you  really  believe  it  has  been  four  years? 
Crazy,  I  know.  Our  Elon  journey  has  been  an  incredible 
one  in  which  we  all  have  found  success  in  many  ways. 
Baltimore  Ravens'  star  linebacker,  Ray  Lewis's  said 
when  he  addressed  our  football  team  that  "greatness 
is  a  lot  of  small  things  done  well,  stacked  on  top  of 
each  other."  This  is  ever  present  in  the  Class  of  2011. 
Throughout  our  four  years  we  have  strived  to  do  the 
"small  things"  right,  day-in  and  day-out,  whether  that 
has  been  the  extra  study  time  for  that  absurdly  hard 
test,  staying  late  after  practice  to  do  extra  drills,  or  the 
long  nights  spent  rehearsing  for  that  upcoming  show, 
just  to  name  a  few.  Those  "small  things"  done  eveiyday

My  Wish  for  you 

i  hope  the  days  come  easy  and  the  moments  pass  slow 

And   EACH    ROAD   LEADS   YOU   WHERE  YOU  WANT  TO  GO 

AND   IF  YOU'RE   FACED  WITH   THE  CHOICE  AND  YOU    HAVE  TO 

CHOOSE 

I  HOPE  YOU  CHOOSE  THE  ONE  THAT  MEANS  THE  MOST  TO 

YOU 

And  if  one  door  opens  to  another  door  closed 

1  hope  you  keep  on  walkin'  til  you  find  the  window 

if  it's  cold  outside,  show  the  world  the  warmth  of 

your  smile 

But  more  than  anything,  more  than  anything 

My  WISH  FOR  you 

Is  THAT  THIS    LIFE   BECOMES  ALL  THAT  YOU   WANT   IT  TO 

YOUR   DREAMS   STAY   BIG,  YOUR  WORRIES   STAY  SMALL 

You    NEVER    NEED  TO  CARRY   MORE  THAN   YOU  CAN    HOLD 

And  WHILE  YOU'RE  OUT  THERE  GETTIN'  WHERE  YOU'RE 

GETTIN'  TO 

1    HOPE  YOU    KNOW  SOMEBODY   LOVES   YOU 

And  WANTS   THE   SAME  THINGS  TOO 

Yeah,  this  is  my  wish 

i  hope  you  never  look  back  but  you  never  forget 

all  the  ones  who  love  you  and  the  place  you  left 

i  hope  you  always  forgive  and  you  never  regret 

and  you  help  somebody  every  chance  you  get 

oh,  you'd  find  god's  grace  in  every  mistake 

And  always  give  more  than  you  take 

But  more  than  anything,  yeah  more  than  anything 

My  wish  for  you 

Is  THAT  this    life   BECOMES   ALL  THAT  YOU  WANT   IT  TO

he  96th  edition  of  Phi  Psi  Cli  yearbook  was  produced  by  the  2011  Phi  Psi  Cli  staff  at  Elon  University  in  Elon, 
North  Carolina.  Taylor  Publishing  of  Dallas,  Texas  printed  1,000  copies  of  the  224  page  all-color  book.  The  account 
was  serviced  by  Milani  Arguelles  and  local  senior  representative  Shandi  Foster.  Free  copies  of  the  yearbook  were 
distributed  to  students,  faculty  and  staff  and  sent  home  to  class  of  2011  graduates  at  their  request. 

The  theme  "Controlled  Chaos"  was  developed  as  a  result  of  a  brainstorming  discussion  during  one  of  the  year's 
first  staff  meetings  in  Fall  2010.  It  was  chosen  because  it  describes  the  average  Elon  student:  involved  in  many 
different  activities,  thus  making  life  chaotic,  but  yet  still  managing  to  remain  organized  and  controlled. 

Lauren  Warr  designed  several  different  cover  samples  and  the  yearbook  staff  voted  on  the  cover  design  they  liked 
best.  The  cover  is  size  9  with  four  color  processed  lithocote  material  and  featuring  gloss  lamination  with  a  lizard 
grain  and  debossing.  The  binder  board  is  120  pt.  The  endsheets  are  printed  and  are  100  #  enamel  paper. 

The  2011  edition  covers  from  June  2010  to  May  2011.  The  book  was  created  using  a  combination  of  Adobe 
InDesign  CS4  and  Adobe  InDesign  CSS  on  six  Macintosh  computers  in  the  Priestley  Building  where  the  Phi  Psi  Cli 
office  is  located.  Lauren  Warr  also  developed  the  style  guide  for  the  book.  All  body  copy  was  set  in  11-point  Serif  72 
Beta.  Captions  were  set  in  8-point  Quicksand  Light  or  Book.  All  page  headlines  were  done  in  Serif  72  Beta  Italic  and 
Quicksand  Book.  Pages  were  submitted  to  the  plant  online. 

Each  section  in  the  book  has  been  indicated  by  the  use  of  a  colored  strip  at  the  bottom  of  the  page.  These  colors 
make  up  the  color  palette  for  the  2011  book.  The  colors  were  used  to  indicate  the  following  sections:  student  life, 
sports,  seniors,  news,  and  index. 

Lifetouch  Studios  of  Burlington,  NC  photographed  senior  students  in  their  caps  and  gowns  on  designated  photo 
days  throughout  the  year.  Pictures  on  all  pages  were  either  taken  or  obtained  by  a  member  of  the  Phi  Psi  Cli  staff  or 
were  submitted  by  members  of  the  Elon  community. 

The  staff  of  Phi  Psi  Cli  would  like  the  thank  all  of  those  who  made  this  book  possible,  including  but  not  limited  to 
all  students  who  submitted  pictures  and  stories,  the  Media  Board  for  their  guidance  and  our  advisor.  Randy  Piland, 
for  his  continued  support  and  advice.  Finally,  we  would  like  to  thank  our  Balfour/Taylor  representative,  Shandi 
Foster,  for  being  a  mentor,  advisor,  and  great  friend.  She  believes  in  what  she  does  and  brings  joy  and  enthusiasm  to 
many  yearbooks.  Thank  you  for  all  of  your  help.
