Student Life

For the past two years, the Elon University community has donated thousands of needed school supplies to children classified as homeless.

New students participated in the final First-Year Summer Experience program on campus with activities centered around Elon values and campus culture.

Elon has partnered with Alamance Regional Medical Center and Cone Health to provide student health services staffing in a South Campus facility that doubles space for health services, counseling services and health promotions.

Despite a busy schedule, the assistant vice president for student life and associate dean of students, who always makes time for others, is the recipient of the 2013 Ward Family Excellence in Mentoring Award.

Elon University employees on May 15 celebrated teaching, scholarship, service and mentoring at a program in Alumni Gym.

 

Amber Schmiesing will use the award to take part in the "Elon in LA" program and a new "Dance for the Camera" course.

Matthew Antonio Bosch currently directs GLBTA programs at the University of Minnesota.

 

Lavender Graduation is a ceremony held by Elon's LGBTQ Coordinator to congratulate and celebrate LGBTQIA undergraduate seniors and graduate students who graduated in December 2012 or will graduate in May 2013.

 

Melanie Manley, who was enrolled at Elon last fall, died March 11 after a long illness.
