Even with a child already in college, ANNE NICHOLSON’s family didn’t qualify for need-based aid. Anne was concerned about the financial burden another tuition payment would represent for her family, but being selected as a Presidential Scholar and Communications Fellow made it possible for Anne to enroll at Elon University. As she expected, Elon was the right choice for her. “Elon simply offers all kinds of opportunities, in and out of the classroom,” says Anne. As a freshman, the Dublin, Ohio, native took a class offering accelerated training on communications equipment; as a sophomore, she was a teaching assistant for the same class. She won national recognition and a bronze Tellie, a prestigious communications award, for “Etc.”, an entertainment program which she created, pitched, and produced as a sophomore. During the Winter Term she studied in Italy; in November , Anne attended an international Internet conference in Rio De Janiero with communications faculty members Janna Anderson and Connie Book and several other students. The summer before her senior year, she completed an internship at video network VH- in New York City. Anne, whose ideal job would be working on NBC’s “Today” show, says, “I really don’t think I would have had those same opportunities [at another school], at least not as early as I did at Elon.”
