LGBTQIA Community Enrichment Awards
The LGBTQIA Alumni Network and Community Enrichment Awards were established in 2012 to create opportunities to affirm and acknowledge the work alumni, faculty, and staff have done to uplift LGBTQIA people and causes on campus and in their communities at large. The Community Enrichment Awards recognize those individuals who have made and continue to make a positive impact and for their dedication to Elon and LGBTQIA communities.
Do you know someone we should recognize? Please nominate them for the ceremony during Homecoming 2024.
