Mentoring

This academic year Elon University is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the Numen Lumen Pavilion, home to the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life.

Working closely with her mentor, Assistant Professor of Economics Brooks Depro, Alps took a deep dive into what the recent expansion of local business facility meant to Alamance County.

The event gave attendees the chance to engage in conversations about issues impacting male students of color while receiving free haircuts from local licensed barbers.

Through the fellowship, the director of the Center for Research on Global Engagement will be advancing her work on mentored undergraduate research in global contexts.

The SMART Mentoring Program is open to current students who want to be peer mentors for incoming first year students. SMART aims to connect first-year and transfer ALANAM students to mentors on campus. Through a new pilot program this year, the program has expanded to include faculty and staff and offers to provide peer support that is the hallmark of the program to professional colleagues at Elon.

The weekly tradition allows for the Elon community to gather for reflection, and holds the theme of "Meaningful Relationships Matter" this academic year.

President Emeritus Leo M. Lambert and Peter Felten, executive director of the Center for Engaged Learning, join two co-authors in writing about how students can build relationships during the college experience that will contribute to their success.
