New Student Orientation welcomes new students through Feature Phoenix

The Feature Phoenix series is back and ready to welcome new, transfer and returning students for the upcoming school year.

The Feature Phoenix series is a way for all students to learn about student organizations and clubs and how they are being inclusive on campus. Episode seven introduces Kelsi Sheren ’25, who serves as a student coordinator of Elon’s New Student Orientation.

New Student Orientation is for incoming and transfer students. The primary goal is to ensure that students have an easy transition to their new life at Elon. This is a time to get settled and prepare for the upcoming school year. Students get a chance to meet new people including fellow students, university leaders, faculty and staff who want to welcome them and make them feel supported.

Feature Phoenix will inform about the clubs and organizations that Elon has to offer to inform the community about the values of Inclusive Excellence.

“Making sure we create an inclusive space where everyone feels that they belong is really a top priority for New Student Orientation,” said Sheren.

New Student Orientation hopes that all new students have a chance to connect with the Elon community, learn about traditions, engage in events and so much more. Kelsi talks about her first experience with New Student Orientation and her current experience.

The series highlights clubs and organizations of different sizes that bring together people around a range of topics. Find the newest video on the Inclusive Excellence website and visit the Elon University YouTube page to find past videos.
