¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ

A new ferryboat affiliated with ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ sets sail on the coastal North Carolina waters this summer. All of North Carolina’s ferryboats are affiliated with colleges or universities in North Carolina and display the school colors and logos.

Issues in Political Economy, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ research journal published jointly by the economics departments at ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ and the University of Mary Washington, recently published its 20th anniversary volume.

Twenty-six students, faculty, staff and alumni representing ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ’s Imagining the Internet Center participated in and provided official documentation of the Internet Governance Forum-USA 2011 at Georgetown University Law Center on July 18.

This September, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ will begin a new lifelong education program designed for people aged 50 and older. The learning institute, called LIFE@ELON, will feature weekly presentations conducted in interactive format. The learning community will be led by current and retired Elon faculty and staff members and other area educators.

Caregivers can face special challenges when helping clients with emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities. Leigh Ann Stutts ’11 explores these challenges and exposes gaps in caregiver training – including the need to learn forgiveness – in a recent edition of the The Open Mind, the newsletter of the Durham, N.C., chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ professors, students and alumni continue to make news this summer through their research and campus activities. Notable in recent weeks was regional media coverage of ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ School of Law's full accreditation from the American Bar Association, regional stories and broadcasts on Elon's new head women's basketball coach, and mention of the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ Poll by the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.
