Brenda Dixon-Gottschild dances with Elon students in McCrary Theatre on March 9.
The Elon community found rhythm in McCrary Theatre as they gathered to hear Brenda Dixon-Gottschild discuss and perform her research on the Africanist presence in American dance. The self-proclaimed “anti-racist” told the audience that while she was reading from her notes, the event would not be a traditional academic presentation.
Elon softball captain and junior Greta Hessenthaler’s role this season looks a lot different than when she first joined the team in 2023. As their lead-off hitter, it’s her job to read the pitcher and communicate back to her team and coaches what she observes at the plate. Named a captain as a sophomore, Hessenthaler quickly grew into one of the team’s lead voices. She said her understanding of the game makes her a stronger leader. Head coach Kathy Bocock points to Hessenthaler’s loyalty to the team as a characteristic of a good captain.
