‘A friend, a confidant, a mentor’
The Rev. Bill Sharpe found his home in helping others. Sprawled through his life, including his time as Elon University’s first chaplain and counselor, is a constellation of those he inspired and the works he created. Sharpe died in January 2020 of cancer. Elon University created an archive of his collections in May of 2024 that include pieces of memorabilia he collected over the years such as photographs of staff members, letters, playbills and newspaper clippings. The collection itself was assembled by an archival student, Jasper Meyers ’24.
