Community Engagement & Service

The Sept. 11 dinner provided an opportunity for Alamance County and Elon University community members to engage in open and honest conversations regarding the portrayal of Muslims in the media, the role the Masjid plays in the community and other related topics.

The nationwide initiative aims to promote communication and healing between police and people of color in the United States. The Tuesday, Sept. 17, event will include an on-campus screening of the award-winning film “Walking While Black” and a panel discussion with Alamance County community members and law enforcement leaders.

DEEP is the Center for Race, Ethnicity & Diversity Education’s (CREDE) signature program for social justice. We provide spaces for the Elon community to learn about, reflect on, and apply concepts of social justice with a foundation in racial equity. Together, we hope to achieve a greater understanding of identities, power, and their relation to systemic inequities.

The Studio’s first project, an accessibility mapping for visitors to the Elon campus, concluded in the spring and was approved by Design for America’s national organization in August.

Students, faculty and staff joined in to pack 30,000 meals that will be distributed around the world, including those areas of the Bahamas devastated by Hurrricane Dorian.

More than two dozen incoming first-year students will spend the week performing community service and learning about Alamance County as part of the First-Year Summer Experience Engage program.

The social equity podcast was developed with support from Kernodle Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement community partnership grant in partnership with the NAACP and Shaw University.

The Elon Buddies program, a partnership between Elon and Alamance Community College, was one of 20 recipients of the award statewide. 

The initiative led by the Bringing Theory to Practice project is supported by an $800,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
