Honors FellowsSpend two years working closely with a faculty mentor to theorize, develop and compose your thesis. Juniors take workshops to develop a topic, fi nd a mentor and prepare a proposal to be approved by the Honors Advisory Committee. Past topics include the study of dark matter, fi rst impressions, media coverage of terrorism and the creative roots of poetry. Many students continue their thesis work into graduate school.

Elon College FellowsProduce a professional body of work in your chosen discipline as the culmination of a two-year mentorship with an Elon professor. You will present your scholarly work to an appropriate audience, such as Elon’s Spring Undergraduate Research Forum, the National Conferences on Undergraduate Research or other conferences, performances or exhibits. Your Fellows project will greatly enhance your undergraduate studies and provide a high quality professional experience that will benefi t you after graduation.

Business FellowsParticipate in one of two capstone experiences during your senior year. Fellows can manage a portion of Elon’s endowment, determining objectives and selecting stocks. Results from past teams consistently outperformed the Index. Fellows involved in consulting projects might fi nd themselves conducting market research or managing a complex economic analysis project that determines the future direction for a business or nonprofi t organization.

Communications FellowsConquer the media world by interviewing dignitaries at international conferences, producing a nightly newscast or presenting a research paper at a public relations seminar. Communications Fellows complete capstone projects that can be as varied as conducting original research, investigating a media topic or performing presentations in their areas of interest.

Leadership FellowsYou’ve spent four years learning to lead, so it’s only natural that your capstone project will focus on those skills. Coordinate the “How to Lead” retreat, complete a community project, attend capstone discussions and present your leadership legacy paper as you prepare to make a meaningful contribution as an Elon graduate.

Capstone Experience

After four years as an Elon Fellow you’ll graduate with more than a diploma — you’ll After four years as an Elon Fellow you’ll graduate with more than a diploma — you’ll After four years as an Elon Fellow have knowledge across several disciplines, a greater sense of confi dence and a deeper appreciation for the world around you. And if you’re like many Fellows, you’ll leave with something else — innovative research, a published article of scholarly work, or the playbill from a production you wrote, produced and directed. Many Fellows choose to culminate their Elon experience with a project demonstrating the depth of their scholastic eff orts.

“When I graduated, I had a

piece of work that I’d spent

two years of my life working

on – creating it, defending

it, and fi nding funding for

it. When I told people I was

writing a thesis, they’d say,

‘In undergrad?’ The Fellows

experience gives you an edge

in competition for graduate

schools, there’s no doubt.”

You’ll dissect the inner workings of the mind through the lens of religious studies, philosophy, physics and neurobiology.

Confused?Don’t be.Pugh and Gendle work hard to make their class for Honors Fellows fun, interesting and

very enlightening. “We create a series of experiences throughout the semester that challenge students’

concepts of reality,” Gendle says.concepts of reality,” Gendle says.During one class they asked students to gaze into mirrors for several minutes at a time.

On another day, the professors took students outside and had them slowly walk from one point to another all the while concentrating on the world around them.

“It was great. One student said until that class he’s never realized that Elon’s brick paths are neither red nor fl at,” Gendle says.

It’s all in the name of self-awareness.Self-discovery.Self-knowledge.Both men are fascinated with the

cultural crossroads of science, religion and psychology. � e chance to work together and share that interest with Honors Fellows makes it one of the best academic experiences they say they’ve ever had.

“It was one of the best classes I’ve taught at Elon because those students who were engaged were extremely engaged,” Pugh says.

He and Gendle spent months before the course’s debut batting around ideas, and acclimating themselves with the other’s teaching style.

“It really gave me a good sense of how he thinks,” Gendle says. “By the time we

were teaching the class, I’d stand up there and know what topics to save for Jeff rey, and also how to set him up to make an enlightening point.”

“We were also able to model an academic discussion for the students,” Pugh points out.

� e class is a regular exercise in debating and re-thinking concepts, constructs and theories that govern daily life and human interactions. Heavy stuff , but Honors Fellows are the perfect audience, Pugh says.

“In a traditional class, most of the students are interested, but only a small group are really engaged. In Fellows classes, all of the students want to learn more. And it builds on itself,” Pugh says. “At Elon, we have the ability to push ourselves and our classes beyond the box. In this class, we don’t stick to a cut and dried curriculum; we follow arguments where they lead.”

How should I decide which program(s) to apply for?Fellows Programs are primarily school-based, so you should be planning to major in one of the fi elds contained within the school sponsoring the Fellows Program. � e exceptions are Honors Fellows, which is for students in any major except engineering, and Leadership Fellows, which is also not specifi c to a major fi eld of study. Please visit www.elon.edu/fellows for a list of majors housed within each school. Students who are undecided about a major typically apply to Honors Fellows if they wish to pursue the thesis option or to Elon College Fellows because of the breadth of majors off ered in the arts and sciences.

It is important to note that students who plan to major in engi-neering have a very specifi c three-year curriculum, which precludes participating in any of the Fellows Programs. Engineering candidates should apply for the scholarships associated only with that major instead of a Fellows Program.

How many programs may I apply for? Students may apply for one school-based (Business, Elon College, Communications or Teaching) and one non-school-based (Honors or Leadership) program. However, you may participate in only one Fellows Program. You may not apply to two programs based in diff erent schools because you are required to major in one of the fi elds within a school. For example, you may not apply to both the Communications Fellows and the Business Fellows because they are in two diff erent schools. Because the Honors and Isabella Cannon Leadership Fellows Programs are not school-based, you may apply to both of these or to one of them in combination with a school-based program. If you apply to two programs, be sure to list your fi rst and second choice.

Candidates selected to compete for Honors Fellows will be re-quired to have a teacher recommendation submitted on their behalf prior to the competition weekend. Recommendations must clearly state your name at the top of the letter and that you are being rec-ommended for the Elon University Honors Fellows Program.
