Elon College, the College of Arts & Sciences

Elon junior Breanna Detwiler has been named a recipient of a 2008 Morris K. Udall Scholarship, an award for scholars dedicated to careers related to the environment. It is the second time in the past month she has made school history by winning a national fellowship never before awarded to an Elon student.

A series of events at Elon University this week highlighting the costs of war in Iraq concluded Thursday with a community discussion where students, staff and members of the public shared their struggles in dealing with the moral issues of U.S. actions overseas.

Hundreds of Elon students were involved in activities during Celebrate!, a week-long celebration of student achievements in academics and the arts. Follow this link for a photo gallery of the week's activities.

As three Elon students learned over the fall, sell enough pins in the shape of a white ribbon with red dots, and you might just save hundreds of lives overseas from a disease that has all but been eradicated in the United States.
