- Hey, my name is Andrea Moore and I am a sophomore, graduating with the class of 2022. I am an Arts Administration and Psychology major and have a minor in Criminal Justice Studies. I am involved with the Student Union Board, Religious Life, and Intramurals. My piece of advice is don’t apologize for who you are, and if you meet people who ask you to, then find new people. This campus is huge, I know it seems really small, but your people are out there! Getting involved with organizations that you feel strongly about will do you so much good.

- Hey! I’m Kate Wallace and I am a Senior, graduating with the class of 2020. My major is Media Analytics. At Elon I’m involved with Vital Signs A Cappella and New Student Orientation. My advice to you is that you are not the only one struggling, even if it may seem like it sometimes. You are not alone. Reach out and ask for help. Also, it’s never too late to try something new.

- Hello! My name is Hannah Hattori and I am a junior graduating with the class of 2021. I’m a Human Service Studies major. At Elon I am involved in InterVarsity, Elonthon, and Yoga Club. My piece of advice is to do what makes you happy. Dive deep into your passions. Don’t let anyone get in your way. Go after what lights up your days, weeks, and semesters to make the most out of your time at Elon.

- Hey my name is Sydnie Holder and I am an Elementary and Special Education major. I am also a Sophomore graduating with the Class of 2022. I’m involved in the Chabad, Elonthon, and I’m also a sister of Alpha Xi Delta. My advice is for a lot of incoming college students making friends and getting involved can be intimidating. But I used the line, “push yourself now so you don’t have to later”. The more you push yourself, the quicker Elon feels like home.

- Hi! I am Paola Kalb. I am a Senior majoring in Psychology and Human Services. At Elon I am involved in Elon Volunteers and I’m an Academic Mentor for Student Disability Services. My advice is to show your love and your passion. If you try everything that you are interested in and don’t limit yourself, you will find where you belong and when you do, live and breath it and show your passion and enthusiasm.

- Hello! My name is Ethan Ash. I’m a Sophomore majoring in both Entrepreneurship and Psychology. I am a member of Student Union Board, Residential life as an RA in Colonnades, and a member of URSA. My piece of advice is with so many options and directions laid out in front of you, I’d advise you to follow your curiosity. Being involved is important, but its also no rush. As long as you stay curious and continue to actively look for opportunities, the ones that suit you will appear.
-
- Hey, my name is Sam Meltzer. I am a sophomore Adventure Based Learning major with a Hebrew Studies minor. I’m actively involved with the Student Union Board as well as the club climbing team. One piece of advice I would give to new Elon students is to not stretch themselves too thin and to focus your efforts on a few organizations so they don’t wear themselves out too early on.
-
- Hey, my name is Madeline Martinson. I’m currently a sophomore, graduating with the class of 2022. I am a Biology major with a concentration in Pre-Medicine, and minors in Psychology and Chemistry. I was an Orientation Leader for the class of 2023, and I am a new member of the Student CONNECTions Team. My biggest piece of advice is to explore new things. Don’t do something just because it’s what you know or what you’ve always done; challenge yourself to try new activities and environments.
