Global Neighborhood Associations

To promote community development, generate ideas, and implement neighborhood plans, the Global Neighborhood fosters two associations: a Neighborhood Association (NA) and a Student Neighborhood Association (SNA).

The Global Neighborhood Association consists of faculty and staff representatives from our key campus partners: Global Education Center (GEC), Core Curriculum (COR 1100 Linked Faculty), Belk Library, Dining Engagement, the CREDE, Kernodle Center, Elon Sustainability, and the Truitt Center. This association gathers during Planning Week to strategize the implementation of the neighborhood plan and again February to to assess the status of the current plan and to begin brainstorming for the upcoming year. Relevant members of the association meet monthly as needed to discuss monthly events they are planning, involved in, or supporting.

 

The Student Neighborhood Association is comprised of Global Neighborhood residential students and is co-chaired by the Faculty Director and Graduate Apprentice. In the first two weeks of the Fall semester, each building selects a spokesperson to serve as a Representative of their building/LLC. The Building Reps are responsible for encouraging student attendance at neighborhood events and advocating for the needs/wants of the students in their building. The SNA will meet monthly to discuss updates, event promotion, and event planning. One SNA member will serve as the RHA representative and attend those monthly meetings as well, serving as a liaison between Global Neighborhood and Residence Life.
