Community Engagement & Service

Led by Associate Professor Hal Walker, the service-learning class coordinated an October fundraiser to support the Burlington-based nonprofit organization.

The conference seeks to promote the work of women, to combat identity-based exploitation and marginalization and to educate and empower future audio professionals to create an environment of inclusion and diversity.

The year-long program will foster civic engagement, reflect on ideals of democracy and freedom, and increase college access for Alamance County high school seniors. It is funded by a $300,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation.

The Student Professional Development Center (SPDC) teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club of Alamance County to provide targeted career development workshops to a group of middle and high school students.

This fall Elon’s “It Takes a Village Project” was able to work with 11 of the 12 Title I elementary schools in the Alamance-Burlington School System thanks to a grant from the Oak Foundation.

The Power and Place Collaborative's second collection of digital stories documenting the lives of Alamance County's Black community premiered Dec. 4 and are available at its website and through the African American Cultural Arts and History Center.

The Power and Place Collaborative is a partnership between Elon University, Burlington's Mayco Bigelow Center, and the African American Cultural Arts and History Center. Students interviewed community members and edited their oral histories into short videos.

Physician assistant students in Elon's "underserved populations" course worked with 20 ABSS middle and high schoolers for the fall 2021 to increase the interest of potentially pursuing a career medicine among young minority men.

Elon's idea was to create “Junior Journalism,” a program in partnership with Alamance-Burlington School System in which Elon students and third-grade students come together to learn about local government and journalism.
