Vice President for Student Life Jon Dooley offers this weekly message to help students stay informed and prepare for the week ahead.

In addition to the Commemorative Address that was held on campus last week, the Kernodle Center has information about upcoming service opportunities, and Elon will honor the National Day of Racial Healing on Tuesday, Jan. 21 with a series of events.
