Elon law school increases size, opens for second year Alexandra Milan Reporter The Elon University School of Law kicked off its second year by welcoming 107 new students and five new professors. The students in the class of 2010 range in age from 21 to 57. Some students completed their undergraduate education at Elon while others attended a variety of local and out-of- state universities. They began class August 20 after completing a week- long orientation. The new students join the 115 who attended Elon’s law school in its first year. Of those students, 96 landed internships or paying jobs this summer. They will continue their education this year through a wider curriculum. The classes that the first year students take are all required, but this year the school is adding new electives for the second year students. Margaret Robison Kantlehner, associate dean for external relations and assistant professor of law, thinks that the law school will continue to be as successful this year as it was last year. “We hope that our students will use their law degrees to influence positive change in their clients, the community and the world,” Kantlehner said. First year student Michael Eldredge feels just as confident about Elon’s ability to fully prepare its students for the legal world. “The program is set up to not only teach students the law and enable them to pass a bar exam, but also to instill values that build strong leaders in the professional community,” he said. The law school emphasizes the ideas of engaged learning and leadership that are so fimdamental to Elon’s undergraduate university. Its location in downtown Greensboro allows students to gain experience outside of the classroom and put what they have learned into action. The school is near federal and state courts, law firms and other government offices, giving students access to the city’s practicing lawyers.

The 2006-2007 academic year marked the first full year that the Pharos Print Management System was used on campus. Originally implemented to help cut the cost of paper and toner, this system has been enormously successful. During the 2004-2005 academic year, Elon students printed more than ten million sheets of paper. Assistant Vice President for Technology Chris Fulkerson said, “We had to find a way to control the waste. And not just the waste of paper, but the waste of money that we were just throwing away.” Fulkerson met with members of Elon’s faculty and various student organizations in order to find a way to prevent excessive printing. During the summer 2005, Fulkerson decided to purchase the Pharos Print Management System because of its compatibility with Blackboard. Spring semester 2006 served as a trial run for the new system. Although students had to swipe their Phoenix cards in order to print, they were not yet charged for their use of paper. Most colleges and universities that have used Pharos noticed a 30 percent reduction in printing when the system was initially implemented. In its first semester, Elon’s reduction was more than 50 percent. Last year, Elon students printed three million PHAROS continued on p. 5 Sports Winter Term courses p. 10 Cultural calendar..,...p. 12 Volunteering p. 11 Fall TV highlights....p. 13 Volleyball tournament...p. 14 Burlington softball p. 15 Cross country p. 16
