Roots and Connections

The words community and communication come from the same linguistic root. We cannot have a sense of community without communication.

That's the purpose of this electronic newsletter called Connections - to connect our Elon community through regular communication. Our on-campus community consists of students, faculty and staff in the School of Communications and elsewhere within the university. Our off-campus community includes parents, alumni, friends and our outstanding Advisory Board of media professionals.

Connections will bring news, feature stories, statistics, photos, upcoming events and observations about Elon's School of Communications. Please stay connected with us!

Paul Parsons, Dean
