I chose Elon because...

I chose Elon because it gave me the opportunity to have intensive training within the performing arts while also valuing the education I receive outside of those classes. At this University, I am encouraged to become a well-rounded scholar and am more than just another number. Plus, when I first stepped foot on campus, I felt immediately at home.

My favorite Elon Tradition is .... Because...

My favorite tradition at Elon is Luminaries! I was able to participate this past year, and not only was it a wonderful time to spend with my friends, but it also was such a great opportunity to learn and see all of the amazing programs we have on campus. Elon loves to celebrate all of its different cultures, and I felt like Luminaries really showcased that. Plus, who could go wrong with hot chocolate?

My most memorable Elon experience?

One of my most memorable Elon experiences was cram jam. This happens the night before finals week begins, and it was such a great time to just destress before maybe the most difficult time of the year. Essentially Mosely is turned into just a huge hang-out area with massage chairs, Karaoke, a make-your-own stuffed animal station, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Plus, President Connie Book is giving out food at late night :)
