After writing my article about the stipends Elon University’s School of Law provides for students doing summer internships, I learned more from law student Jason Senges about how the program works and am excited to share this information on The Pendulum blog. The Public Interest Law Society (PILS) stipend only goes to a student that is doing public interest work. Last year’s recipients worked in a public defender’s office and with Guardian and Litern. The stipends for the Leadership Fellows benefit non-profit and public interest practices by enabling them to have interns work for them because the interns can work for free. As Senges explained, had it not been for the stipend, he would not have been able to work for the entirety of the summer. The stipends are a way the law students can give back to the communities, according to Senges.

Rachel Amato has never had it easy when it comes to food options. The Elon University junior is a vegetarian, lactose intolerant and has acid reflux. She is also the founder of Eat Right Elon, a new organization on campus that aims to help college students who are vegetarian, vegan, lactose intolerant, gluten free, or have acid reflux. "This organization was like an outlet, and a way for me to deal with these issues and share and discuss my problems with other students and the problems they may have with finding healthy and nutritious foods on campus," Amato said. According to Jeff Milroy, advisor of Eat Right Elon and adjunct professor of health and human performance. "It's an additional resource to increase awareness of your nutritional intake during your college years." Eat Right Elon looks to serve as a resource for people like Amato so they will not have issues finding dining options.

The competition itself will consist of two exams that students will complete in teams of five to eight.
