The Feature Phoenix video series offers a new way to learn about how Elon’s organizations and clubs reflect the university's approach to inclusive excellence.
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 nine introduces Carlos Gomez Lopez ’26, who serves as vice president of the Latinx-Hispanic Union (LHU).
The Latinx-Hispanic Union seeks to create unity in the Latinx-Hispanic community and foster diversity at Elon University. The organization advocates on issues that impact Latinx-Hispanic communities.
In the video, Gomez Lopez shares about the goals of LHU and how the organization works toward promoting inclusive excellence.
“We are mainly here to serve our Latinx-Hispanic community which is a population that is not represented well at Elon,” said Gomez Lopez. “Our organization is a place where we can all gather around together.”
LHU promotes and creates community involvement opportunities in Alamance County to empower their community. Their goal is to be the voice for their community at Elon University and be a place where Latinx-Hispanic students can feel like they belong. For more information about events LHU can be found on Phoenix Connect.
If someone would still like to stay connected with LHU after they graduate, there is an alumni group. The group is called Latinx Hispanic Alumni Network (ELHAN). This group is as an official affinity network of Elon where alumni can unite and represent the interests of Latinx-Hispanic alumni, students, faculty and staff.
Feature Phoenix is a great way to learn about the clubs and organizations that Elon has to offer and how inclusive excellence is engrained on the campus. The series highlights clubs and organizations of different sizes that bring together people around a range of topics.
