Elon students Kelly Richards and Jenn Gilbert and faculty member Kenn Gaither are safe in Hawaii after the ship that served as their classroom was hit by two large waves in the Pacific Ocean.
The incident happened Jan. 26, a week after Richards, Gilbert and Gaither, along with 679 other college students, left Vancouver for “Semester at Sea.” The program takes students to countries around the world while offering on-board classes in a variety of subjects.
