Have you received your Summer/Fall 2026 issue of the Magazine of Elon?

If not, you’re in for a real treat! For the magazine’s Lifelong Connections section, Addie Haney ’14 reflected on the lasting impact Professor of Journalism Anthony Hatcher has had on her life — from her days as an Elon student to their continued friendship today.

Haney recalls traveling with Hatcher and fellow students to Hong Kong, where she saw firsthand his approach to teaching: giving students the freedom to take the lead while knowing when to offer guidance. But it was the conversations between assignments — over meals, while exploring the city and talking about life after Elon — that left an equally lasting impression.

“I’m happy to say that connection is still present today, whether through emails exchanged or virtual coffee chats,” Haney writes. “And while Dr. Hatcher’s time at Elon may be ending, his impact on students and alumni like me will live on long after departing campus.”

From Elon to the sidelines at Pitt. 🏈🎥

Just over a year after graduating, Elon alumnus Cap Henneman ’25 has found his footing in the fast-paced world of college athletics.

As assistant director of creative content for Pitt football, Henneman is capturing the moments fans see and the stories behind them. His first football Saturday included documenting a 59-14 season-opening victory, celebrating inside a packed locker room, and taking the lead editing Pitt’s behind-the-scenes “Field Pass” video series.

The experiences Henneman gained at Elon — from Rising Phoenix and Elon Athletics to internships and hands-on storytelling — helped prepare him for the opportunity.

“I can confidently say I am doing something that I truly love,” the journalism major said.

A well-deserved honor for one of the most influential figures in #ElonComm history. 👏

Don Grady, associate professor emeritus of cinema and television arts, received the Elon Medallion, the university’s highest honor for service, during Monday’s Opening Day ceremony.

For 35 years, Grady was a steady hand in the growth of communications at Elon, serving as a professor, department chair, associate dean, mentor and adviser to generations of students. And, of course, his unmistakable baritone voice became a familiar part of the Elon experience.

Fittingly, Grady’s longtime colleague - and former NC State roommate - Gerald Gibson delivered the citation honoring his career and impact.

“So many of our graduates are doing great work in media markets all over the country. They’re the reason we do this work,” Grady said.

Congratulations, Don, on this well-deserved honor — and thank you for all you’ve meant to Elon Comm! taken in Elon University by @eloncomm
