Graduate Student Support

Graduate Liaisons

Learning & Writing Graduate Liaisons provide one-to-one or small group peer-to-peer support to students in any Elon graduate program. Graduate Liaisons support graduate students by facilitating:

Co-Work and Coffee Sessions which are informal sessions that offer an opportunity to gather with other graduate students, work independently or in teams, and socialize at a local coffee shop.
Resource and information sharing through blog posts on topics relevant to graduate student life and experiences.
Individual Consultations which can be scheduled by directly reaching out via email.

Learning & Writing Graduate Liaisons are current graduate students that are trained and supported by Learning Assistance and The Writing Center within the Center for Writing Excellence. Graduate students can also utilize The Writing Center by making an appointment with a trained undergraduate student or submitting a draft for feedback; more info here.

Tutoring

We also offer tutoring for select courses in the DPT program. Students in the DPT program can connect with a peer tutor (current DPT student), by visiting our By-Appointment Tutoring page.

For additional questions, you can contact or schedule a consultation with a Learning Assistance staff member.

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer, and I am a second-year law student at Elon University School of Law at Greensboro. I am excited to be in this role as a Graduate Liaison because as a first-generation graduate student, I recognize the importance of support and advocacy during a tumultuous time. I have previously held roles in student government and mentoring, so I am confident that my skills will translate well into this position. I look forward to hearing, offering support, and advocating for the needs of my peers!

Hi! I’m Courtney, a 2L J.D. Candidate at Elon Law, and I’m excited to serve as a Graduate Liaison. I’m eager to connect with students across different programs, foster support networks, and bridge the gap between programs that may seem worlds apart. As a former college athlete, I truly understand the value of community and the importance of building strong, supportive relationships. In this role, I look forward to being a source of encouragement, learning from my peers, and helping others find balance and connection throughout their journeys!

Hi everyone! My name is Sabella and I am a first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student and an Elon Alumni. I’m so excited to step into the role of Graduate Liaison and help create a community of support for all graduate students. There are so many opportunities and resources at Elon to explore and take advantage of, even outside of your programs! Not to mention how many new relationships you can create with students and faculty in different courses of study that may give you a new perspective. I look forward to learning more about you and your needs, and I am so excited to support you in any way that I can.
