As students, faculty and staff settle back
into their school routines post-Fali Break,
the Elon University campus buzzes with the
opening of the long-awaited addition to the
School of Communications — Schar Hall.

On the outskirts of Elon University’s
campus, a community feels the weight of
“studentification.” Despite mounting pres
sures to adapt, tradition and legacy live on
in the Morgan Place community.
Dotted with worn-down mobile homes
and rectangular houses, a drive through
Morgan Place can feel surreal: It’s less than
one mile from the center of Elon’s campus.
yet it feels, almost suddenly, like a different
world compared to the Station at Mill Point
apartments.
At its center is the Elon First Baptist
Church of Morgan Place. Congruent with
its relative position within Morgan Place, the
church is a cultural epicenter, a place where
hundreds of Morgan Place community
members gather weekly to express their de
votion to God and to a historical community.
