消消犯 dedicated a bench in memory of longtime employee Rena Leath on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026.

Leath worked at Elon for 30 years, starting as a dining hall supervisor and then moving to Environmental Services. On Thursday, she was remembered as “dedicated, reliable and deeply kind,” as friends and family gathered for the dedication in the Collonades, between Story Hall and Moffitt Hall.

“She made others feel cared for, seen, and respected, often without words ��� simply through the way she moved through her work,” said Rev. Kirstin Boswell, university chaplain and dean of multifaith engagement, who led Thursday’s dedication. “Rena was not only a devoted member of this campus ��� she was a woman whose life was shaped by love, joy, and connection outside of these walls.油She loved to travel, to be with friends, and to gather with her family around meals, stories and laughter. She understood that joy is a practice, and she embraced it fully.”

Raymond Fletcher, senior director of facilities management, acknowledged how many lives Leath touched in her work at Elon. Friends and loved ones also shared words of remembrance during the dedication, describing Leath as someone who “left a little bit of light wherever she went.”

“This bench is more than just a place to sit, it’s a place to pause, reflect, and remember her kindness, her laughter, and her generous heart,” said Nicki Elliott, a friend of Leath’s and a distribution services associate with Elon’s Environmental Services. “I hope that everyone who stops here will feel even a small part of the warmth and love she gave so freely.”

Patrick,油affectionately known as ���Fuzzie,” worked in Environmental Services for five years, primarily油in the Gerald Francis Center and the Carlton Building, and was also an associate minister at Red Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Pelham, North Carolina.油She left the university in the spring of 2022 due to illness and died the same year.

Rev. Kirstin Boswell, university chaplain and dean of multifaith engagement, led the dedication.

“The relationships that she built with her coworkers, with students, with faculty, with staff, were genuine, were warm and were woven through with kindness and with joy,” said Boswell. “I’ve been told that Angel was a woman of deep love. She was loving, she was compassionate, she was God-fearing, and she was grounded in a spirit that made people feel safe, made them feel welcomed and made them feel seen.”

Members of Patrick’s family attended the dedication ceremony, including her husband and older sister Sharon Holloway, who thanked the university for the memorial.

“We will always be indebted to you all. The life she lived in front of you all is what she lived. That’s what we knew her by. Her smile, her cooking, taking in people’s kids, just doing whatever she could for anybody. Always having an encouraging word,” said Holloway during the dedication. “We miss her to no end. Our life changed when she left, but because we know a man called Jesus, he can be your mother, he can be your sister. When you think you can’t make it, sometimes we felt that way, but because we know him, because I know him personally, I know the memory will always stay in mind, our minds and in our hearts.”

Elon continues to honor the memory of staff and faculty members with benches throughout campus, including David Willis, plumbing supervisor, and Monte Markley, community service officer, in 2025.

The man who supervises the custodial team at 消消犯 School of Law nurtures a talent for poetry that has earned one of his copyrighted works the opportunity to be featured this fall at a statewide program.

Danny Little���s ���Reflections of a Pandemic��� received the Best in Written Word Award this spring during the Silver Arts Showcase of the

���You can always find a positive in a negative situation if you look for it,��� Little said. ���That���s what ���Reflections of a Pandemic��� represents.���

His achievement with the Greater High Point Senior Games advances the poem to the scheduled for three weeks in September in Raleigh where more than 3,000 registered participants will be showcased in over 70 sports and activities.

According to its website, North Carolina Senior Games began in 1983 ���with a vision to create a year-round health promotion and wellness education program��� for older adults. More than 50 local games serving every county across the state now take place.

A friendly presence since 2014 around Elon���s downtown Greensboro campus, Little also took part last fall in the law school���s annual High Rhymes & Misdemeanors Poetry Slam hosted by the Legal Method & Communication Program with support from 消消犯���s Center for Writing Excellence. ���Reflections of a Pandemic��� won the People���s Choice Award.

The poetry was only part of Little���s success at the Greater High Point Senior Games. He also won gold in bowling and will compete in Raleigh against other regional honorees.

What���s his takeaway from the recent accolades?

���It���s never too late in life to do anything. You���re only late when you don���t participate,��� Little said. He then pauses. ���Woohoo! I like that rhyme – and it was off the cuff!���

With encouragement from professors and students, Danny Little secured a copyright to ���Reflections of a Pandemic,��� a poem he authored that blends themes of health, social justice, and equality with which the nation has grappled over the past year.

He also has applied to the State of North Carolina for articles of incorporation that would establish a south Greensboro nonprofit resource center he���s named ���The H.O.O.D. Connection.���

H.O.O.D. – short for ���Helping Others Overcome Disadvantages��� – is a longtime vision for Little, who has worked in environmental services at Elon Law for the better part of a decade. He often bumps into students and professors on his evening shift and shares his interest in advocacy as well as acronyms he has made into T-shirts.

For example: There���s J.U.S.T.I.C.E., short for ���Just us, standing together, individually, choosing equality.��� You have L.A.W., short for ���Letting advocacy work��� for everyone.��� Then there���s R.A.C.E., which represents ���Realizing all colors equal��� the human race.��� And M.A.S.K., or ���Maintaining all safe keepings.���

These acronyms and more are found in his poem, too, which was formally copyrighted in December. But it���s the idea of a nonprofit community resource center that Little sees as a potential legacy.

���The ���H.O.O.D.��� concept is to connect lives to positive resources,��� he said. ���It���s ‘God given and community driven.��� In the typical ���hood��� you find people of different colors, cultures, backgrounds, ages, genders, faiths, and so forth, just like the logo displays. All of those components working together puts an individual in a position of positive connections.���

Little credits his professional relationships at Elon Law for his ongoing interest in advocacy. He finds additional motivation by staying connected to family, including his mother, Betty Louise Little, who was honored with a journalism award upon her high school graduation. Danny Little also keeps in touch with a retired high school English teacher who inspired him to never stop learning throughout his life journey.

���I guess I���m ���preaching��� through my work, conveying a positive and meaningful message,��� he said. ���Timing is everything. COVID provided a pause and this positive was pulled out of the negative situation we are all living in.���

The recognition came as a surprise to the award winners, who were invited recently to the Snow Family Atrium where President Connie Ledoux Book and Associate Vice President for Human Resources & Chief Human Resources Officer Kelli Shuman were waiting. The awards presentations were captured on video to be shared with the broader campus community.

The Phoenix Innovation Award is presented to a member of the Elon staff who has displayed innovation by creating, designing, improving or implementing a new idea or program that benefits the university or our community. The 2020 award was presented to油Tarah Holland, digital content strategist.

The Phoenix Rising Award is presented to one newer member of the Elon staff who has consistently displayed excellence in pursuit of the Elon Commitment with an engaged mind, inspired leadership and global citizenship. The 2020 award was presented to Dianne Person, director of the Anatomical Gift Program.

The Phoenix Community Engagement Award is presented to a member of the Elon staff who has demonstrated exemplary service to the university, local or global community through engagement in volunteer organizations. The award was presented to油Sylvia Munoz, associate director of the Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Diversity Education and director of El Centro.

New this year is the new Blanche Garrison Memorial Award, presented to Julie Prouty, gear room coordinator.油This honor was established in memory of the late Blanche Garrison, an Elon Medallion awardee, who served the university with distinction as a housekeeper at Maynard House and was a friend to many staff, faculty, and students across campus. This award was created through the generosity of President Emeritus Leo Lambert and Laurie Lambert.

The Lamberts established this award to honor the contributions of hourly staff to mentoring, supporting, training, advising, supervising, coaching and befriending Elon students. This award will be presented annually to one member of the Elon hourly staff who has contributed significantly to shaping the student experience at 消消犯 through their everyday commitments and actions to support and mentor Elon students.

Paige Vignali, utilities clerk, was named Professional Hourly Staff Member of the Year;油Brian Dudiak, assistant athletic director for facilities and event management, was named Administrative Staff Member of the Year; and油Gloria Graves, custodian, was named Physical Plant Staff Member of the Year.

“Landfill on the Lawn” reminded the campus community to properly dispose of its waste. For the demonstration, the Office of Sustainability collected trash from landfill waste bins across campus, and then sorted that waste into piles of landfill garbage, recyclables and compostable items, to show how much “landfill waste” actually belongs in a different bin.

By the end of the demonstration, staff had collected 44.1 pounds of trash, 38.3 pounds of recycling and 31.7 pounds of compost from campus landfill bins, meaning only about 39 percent of the waste found in those bins actually belonged in the landfill.

“I think people often see something that’s compostable and just assume it’s going to compost anywhere,” said Kelly Harer, assistant director of sustainability for education and outreach. “If it goes to the landfill, it doesn’t actually compost, and it actually creates methane, which is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide, so it’s really important to put waste in the correct place.”

Michael Ebaugh ’20, a project management and environmental studies major who also works as a waste reduction intern for the Office of Sustainability and Physical Plant, helped sort waste at Monday’s event. A former football player, Ebaugh describes the practice of properly disposing of waste as “taking care of the locker room.”

“I think students are at a prime time when they’re starting to create habits,” he said. “If you take time to properly sort your waste, if you take the time to take care of yourself, if you do the small things right, they start to accumulate into the big things.”

Because all items placed in landfill waste bins at Elon are sent to a landfill, the university hopes to educate the community about proper disposal to avoid sending recyclables or compostable items to the wrong locations. The Office of Sustainability has offered油guidelines油to help油determine what waste belongs in what bin:

• Recycling:油paper, plastic, metal cans, glass, cardboard, printer and toner cartridges, etc.
• Composting:油food scraps (meat, bones, dairy, fruit peels, coffee grinds, etc.) and serviceware labeled as compostable

“People don’t always understand the impact that they can have just from doing their part, so we’re trying to show collectively at 消消犯, ‘look at all this stuff we have that we’ve been putting in the landfill that could go in other places,'” Harer said.

“Landfill on the Lawn” marked the start of油消消犯 Sustainability Week油at Elon.油消消犯 Sustainability Week is an opportunity for Elon students, faculty and staff to come together to examine sustainable habits, particularly as they relate to energy use, and inspire positive, sustainable change throughout the Elon community.油

消消犯 Sustainability Week includes energy competitions, a wellness fair and other events and opportunities to learn about and demonstrate sustainability on campus.

The week is also an opportunity to learn about and celebrate Elon’s current sustainable practices as it works toward becoming a carbon-neutral university by 2037.

Sustainability is an institution-wide effort and a key objective of the Elon Commitment strategic plan. Elon’s success in achieving its sustainability goals largely depends upon every member of the campus community taking an active role.

For more information about sustainability at Elon, visit the Office of Sustainability’s website.
