Created as Elon prepared to welcome its inaugural cohort of nursing students, the center will offer an array of capabilities and training to over 250 students in the School of Health Sciences.

The professorships, announced during the university's Opening Day for the new academic year, support members of the faculty from a variety of disciplines across the university.

The annual effort started in 2011 due to the work of an Elon alum serving with the armed forces in Afghanistan.

Elon faculty and staff will participate in a full week of activities, gatherings and workshops as Elon kicks off the 2021-22 academic year on Monday, Aug. 16, at Opening Day.
