Working @ Elon

A record 56 percent of Elon faculty and staff have participated in the 2010-2011 Faculty/Staff Campaign, making more than $270,000 in gifts and pledges to the university. As of March 22, 663 employees had made a gift this year to support students, faculty and facilities. In addition, for the second consecutive year, 100 percent of faculty and staff at Elon Law have made a gift to the university this year.

Pam Brumbaugh and Paul Miller are among the members of the campus community who have made a gift to the 2010-2011 Faculty/Staff Campaign, which is on track to become one of the university’s most successful annual giving drives among employees.

Biological love

Love in the performing arts
When it comes to the performing arts, the exploration of love provides ample material for plays, musicals and dance.

While the lack of love typically takes center stage in divorce courts, a law in North Carolina allows spouses to take legal action if they feel someone has wrongfully alienated their husband’s or wife’s love.

Shopping for the holidays? Faculty and staff may purchase discount movie tickets for the new Alamance Crossing Carousel Cinemas in Burlington or the Carousel Grande in Greensboro at the matinee price of $6.25 each. Simply pay for the number of tickets you would like to purchase in the Bursar’s Office. Bring your receipt to the Office of Human Resources to pick up the tickets.

The 2010-2011 Faculty/Staff Campaign is off to its best start ever with donors contributing more than $234,000 in gifts and pledges to the annual giving drive. That total is approximately $48,000 higher than what faculty and staff contributed in gifts and pledges at this time last year. More than 40 percent of faculty and staff have made a gift or pledge to this year’s campaign.
