Working @Elon

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.

From books and paintings to courtrooms and stages, love is found in almost every aspect of life. Elon classrooms are no exception.

Biological love

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.

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

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.

A couple of weeks ago, @Elon asked you to share your favorite holiday recipes and holiday memories. From funny stories involving siblings and friends to how to make "Goat Balls," here's what you told us.

The holidays are an opportunity to be with family and loved ones. But for many students who cannot make it back during those times, faculty and staff provide them with a home away from home.

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.
