Elon University played host last week to the 6th annual fall conference of the North Carolina Association for Play Therapy, which brought to campus dozens of professionals who work with children dealing with grief, trauma and other issues that bring children to therapy.

Kristen Sullivan and Cynthia Fair, both from the Department of Human Services at Elon, are presenting research on Oct. 27 at the annual conference of the American Public Health Association in San Diego.

Cynthia Fair, an associate professor and chair of the Department of Human Services, has co-authored a chapter for a book on the provision of care to children with life threatening illnesses.

Jaclyn Marie Tordo, a 2008 graduate of Elon with a bachelor of arts degree with a major in human services, has received a premiere graduate scholarship from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to help fund her studies in law and social work at Washington University in St. Louis.
