This coming 2015-16 school year will mark the end of the derogatory “Easy Elam” nickname for the girls living in that dorm, thanks to head resident Hannah Meeks. After spending her first year as head resident, Meeks decided there were some changes that needed to be made to improve the community in Elam Hall. Meeks plans to meet with the marketing team this summer to rebrand Elam into something girls are more excited to be a part of. “My hope is that Elam will be a place that fosters and encourages the young women who live here to become women who passionately pursue truth, who are noble and praise-worthy,” Meeks said. “To become women of joy and delight — to become women who know who they are.” The dorm, which houses around 300 “amazing, unique, fun-loving girls” is going to have an overall theme — something completely new to the resident hall. Nicole Northcutt, Stephanie Schiraldi and Caitlyn Wilson will return as resident assistants in Elam for the 2015-16 school year. Leslie Newman will be moving from Johnson Hall, and the new RAs are Hannah Allgood, Rachel Grant, Anne Ware and Savannah Wilson. They will be responsible for decorating their halls according to Meeks’ new theme. Along with a new residence hall theme, Meeks said she also wants to change the environment. Meeks said she wants to make Elam a more faith-centered community so that the girls can grow in their faith while they find themselves. Photo courtesy of Lipscomb...
