CREDE - Center for Race, Ethnicity & Diversity Education

Research by Elon's Faculty Fellow for the Multicultural Center looks at the role of juvenile justice, child welfare and education systems on educational outcomes of African-American men in foster care and residential group homes.

Join us Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. in the Numen Lumen Pavilion for an event co-sponsored by the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life and the Multicultural Center as students from diverse Christian groups on campus will lead prayer and worship for healing and reconciliation in response to recent events in Ferguson, Missouri.

Elon University professors and students filled McKinnon Hall on Aug. 27, 2014, to discuss race, privilege and justice following the Missouri police shooting death of an unarmed black man and subsequent protests that have galvanized the nation.

Elon University’s chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. organized students, faculty and staff Tuesday for a group portrait at College Coffee to raise awareness of police shootings and controversial law enforcement practices across the United States.

A Wednesday program in McKinnon Hall will offer the campus community reflections from Elon University faculty and a current student from Ferguson, Missouri, about the recent police shooting death there of a young unarmed black man.

In an Aug. 18 conversation moderated by President Leo M. Lambert, six professors and administrators shared insights about progress on the university’s strategic plan as Elon formally opened the 2014-2015 academic year.

The veteran college administrator will provide overall leadership for the Multicultural Center while working closely with Elon University President Leo M. Lambert and members of the senior staff to advance institutional diversity initiatives.

An effort to showcase both the university's Community Garden and heirloom plants grown by Elon students proved popular, as did delicious strawberry treats.
