Welcome to Danieley Neighborhood

The Danieley Difference

Named after the late President J. Earl Danieley, we strive to provide our residents a quality residential and academic experience in which they can take pride in their Danieley community, grow into themselves both as students and also as people, and move beyond their time with us inspired to make The Danieley Difference in their future global leadership.

Mission, Vision, and DEI Statement

Mission

To facilitate high-impact educational and experiential experiences that encourage and challenge students to grow into their own as people, thinkers, doers, and leaders.

Vision

To inspire and to equip students to be courageous people, progressive thinkers, purposeful doers, and humanitarian leaders of their communities both at Elon and also beyond Elon.

DEI Statement

Danieley will actively work to recognize and to celebrate the differences inherent in the held identities and lived experiences of its residents, while at the same time holding each other to the highest standards of equity and inclusion possible. We will challenge the misconstruance of human difference as deviance, and we will instill in our residents humanitarian values indicative of responsible leadership.

How We Plan to Make the Danieley Difference

We will use this Danieley Neighborhood Plan 2022-2023 as a road map to deliver our promise of the Danieley Difference.
