Faculty and Staff Receptions

Each fall semester, the Multicultural Center invites all faculty and staff to attend a reception to welcome new faculty and staff of varying ethnic and racial backgrounds and sexual orientations. This event celebrates their contributions to the Elon community and supports Elon's abiding commitment to sustain a campus climate where differences are embraced and each member feels respected and valued as a unique individual.

Faculty and Staff Lunches

Several times throughout the year, the Multicultural Center hosts events for multicultural faculty and staff to come together and discuss a particular book or article over lunch. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and exchange in open dialogue about multicultural issues.

The Multicultural Center offers a wonderful selection of educational materials consisting of books, games, videotapes, magazines, and scholarship guides relevant to cultural diversity.
