Employee Assistance Program
What is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and what does it cover?
Elon Work-Life Resources is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) program that provides university employees (and their families) access to confidential, caring support to address a variety of personal or professional issues. This resource is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at no charge.
Faculty Expertise
How do I find faculty members with expertise in different areas, including proficiency or competency in different languages?
Perhaps one of the most under-utilized resources on the Elon website is the “Areas of expertise” feature of the faculty directory and the Elon University Writers Syndicate. Faculty and staff are encouraged to update their individual profile pages so that those seeking their expertise (students, colleagues, media organizations and the general public) can find them.
