Created as an opportunity to educate students, faculty, and
staff about the major achievements of African American
students and organizations that foster African American
culture at Elon, the Wall of Fame is the centerpiece of
Elon's African American Resource Room. The exhibit
traces the accomplishments of African Americans at the
University from the first black graduate, to the first black
Greek organization.
Located in the Multicultural Center, the Wall of Fame
can be viewed during operating hours.
