In the thick of a breaking news story such as the Mumbai bombings that killed scores of people, it can be tough for reporters to critique their own work, and that’s where Elon University senior Hannah Williams fills a need. Williams is the fifth student to be featured in a series of E-net profiles on the inaugural class of Lumen Scholars.

From participating in family talent shows to working at Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina, Elon senior Christopher Staskel has always bled theatre, whether acting, dancing or singing.

Elon senior Katie Strickland and her research mentor, sociology professor Tom Arcaro, traveled to New Orleans the weekend of Nov. 13-15 to participate in the annual meeting of the Association for Humanist Sociology Conference.
