Academic Advising

An Elon University professor traveled to Suriname this spring to help its largest university develop a stronger physical therapy program in an impoverished nation with few trained therapists.

A university librarian spent a week in Mexico last month tutoring students in English, and now that she is back on campus, Dianne Ford wants to start a program that takes Elon students there each spring to help their counterparts learn the language.

Faculty and students in Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences, were honored May 8 in a ceremony that celebrated outstanding achievement both in and out of the classroom.
