Elon Law hosted a state-wide conference organized by the North Carolina Legal Education Assistance Foundation (NCLEAF) on May 22. The group heard a presentation by Heather Jarvis of Equal Justice Works on the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 which provides exciting opportunities for income-based repayment and loan forgiveness options for public interest attorneys.

Alumni, faculty and students will gather in Los Angeles June 5 to kick off the Elon in L.A. internship and study program. The new program offers students an inside view of the entertainment industry and opportunities to network with alumni. Alumni also will gather June 3 to launch an L.A. alumni chapter.

Thirty students from an elementary school in Washington, D.C., spent two days on campus this month as part of a joint program between the Elon Academy and a nonprofit group dedicated to helping under-served youth prepare for and succeed in college.
