ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

Issues in Political Economy, the undergraduate research journal published jointly by the economics departments at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and the University of Mary Washington, recently published its 20th anniversary volume.

Twenty-six students, faculty, staff and alumni representing ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Imagining the Internet Center participated in and provided official documentation of the Internet Governance Forum-USA 2011 at Georgetown University Law Center on July 18.

This September, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ will begin a new lifelong education program designed for people aged 50 and older. The learning institute, called LIFE@ELON, will feature weekly presentations conducted in interactive format. The learning community will be led by current and retired ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ faculty and staff members and other area educators.

Caregivers can face special challenges when helping clients with emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities. Leigh Ann Stutts ’11 explores these challenges and exposes gaps in caregiver training – including the need to learn forgiveness – in a recent edition of the The Open Mind, the newsletter of the Durham, N.C., chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ professors, students and alumni continue to make news this summer through their research and campus activities. Notable in recent weeks was regional media coverage of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ School of Law's full accreditation from the American Bar Association, regional stories and broadcasts on ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's new head women's basketball coach, and mention of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Poll by the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.
