Danieley Neighborhood is implementing a creative “heist” to introduce residents to key neighborhood staff during the first week of classes. Help them find out what happened to Danielle’s favorite mascot, Tusky the elephant.
Think about it – the first week of classes is full of introductions!
Between meeting new roommates, resident assistants, guidance counselors, classmates, classmates, professors, club representatives, and more, the sheer number of introductions can become overwhelming!
Danieley Neighborhood and Residence Life know how important it is at Elon University to create and foster meaningful relationships with students. We also know how important it is for staff and faculty who are key support for students in residential areas to be visible and accessible to students. We know that going beyond surface-level interaction and creating ways for students to engage and connect with us in personal and meaningful ways is a clear path to fostering the mentoring relationships that are Elon’s hallmark. We want to share parts of ourselves to connect with residents in meaningful ways.
Tusky is missing!
We brainstormed ways to stand out from the tidal wave of submissions and thought – what if a live-action Clue game could be combined with a learning activity?
We knew we had something exciting on our hands. Tusky the elephant, our neighborhood mascot and lovable stuffed animal, was the perfect rallying point to be the center of Danieli’s very own “WhoDANit?”, in which Tusky mysteriously disappears from his home to Danieli’s neighborhood office on check-in night. Who would have thought that our Tuskie could be in trouble?!
We enlisted the help of our student office assistant, Carson Pridgen ’23, to act as Danieli’s neighborhood detective. In order to investigate all the leads to Tuskey’s disappearance, Detective Carson must interview all the people who may have had access to Tuskey when Tuskey disappeared. The suspects are:
Community Director Tanner Gill
Graduated Apprentice Ali Weaver
Faculty Director Paula Di Biasio
Program Assistant Joy Robertson
I think I can help!
Do you think you can help us find Tusky?! Please tell us what you might know! You can watch Detective Carson’s interviews with the suspects on Danieley’s Instagram, @danieleycenter. You can watch them from Tuesday, August 23rd until Tuesday, August 30th, at which point Detective Carson’s case will be closed and the truth will be revealed!
Submit your tips to Detective Carson if you think you know WhoDANit! Any current Elon student (not just Danieley residents) can fill out this form to vote until Tuesday, August 30 at 10:00 p.m.
Anyone familiar with WhoDANit? correctly will be entered into a drawing for one $50 Amazon gift card. Results will be announced on Wednesday, August 31st on Danieley’s Instagram.
Good luck and thank you in advance for helping us find our Tusky!
