School of Communications

Join students, faculty and staff for an elondocs documentary screening at 8 p.m. April 14 in McEwen 011.

Ten Elon students attended the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival this weekend in Durham in a trip that was sponsored by elondocs.

A panel of five Elon faculty members, including Kenn Gaither, an assistant professor in the School of Communications discussed in McKinnon April 8 the importance of learning a foreign language and developing an intercultural skill-set in a world that is being globalized impetuously.

Anderson Cooper doesn't think his work will necessarily change the world, but for the acclaimed CNN and CBS journalist, that isn't the point. His value, he says, is in "bearing witness to what's going on." Cooper visited Elon on April 7 with a trip that culminated in a special afternoon lecture to 2,400 people in Alumni Gym.

CNN journalist Anderson Cooper spent much of his visit to Elon meeting with students in the School of Communications, discussing the practices and ethics of journalism and the rapidly evolving technologies that are changing the way people access and use information.
