Named after the late President J. Earl Danieley, their mission is to inspire and equip students to be courageous individuals, progressive thinkers, purposeful doers and benevolent leaders during their time at Elon and long after Elon, often inspired to make The Danieley Difference in their future leadership.  Encouraging the recognition and celebration of the inherent differences in the held identities, as well as lived experiences of our residents, is what makes the Danieley Community integral to the continuation of the Living and Learning Experience here at Elon.

Danieley is an engaging and diverse community that the majority of our Sophomores love to call home. This tree-lined neighborhood centered around picturesque Lake Verona provides a quality residential as well as academic experience affording our residents the opportunity to take pride in their community while growing into themselves both as students and as people. Residents of the Danieley Neighborhood have the unique opportunity to either enjoy a mini-residence hall style space in the form of an 8-person flat or they may be ready for an apartment style space.
