The Intersect Conference Planning Committee

The Intersect Conference Planning Committee consists of three student directors and highly qualified coordinators who oversee specific aspects of the conference. As a planning committee, we hope to host an inspiring conference that promotes dialogue, creates connections, and inspires action. The Intersect Planning Committee has received campus-wide recognition for its professionalism and hard work. Intersect is a conference for students, created by students!

From my first year at Elon, Intersect has allowed me to grow intellectually by challenging my beliefs in a way that made me a more informed and action-oriented student at Elon. Once I joined the Intersect Committee, I got to see first-hand how this conference positively impacts not only Elon’s campus, but all students, faculty, and staff. Being on the committee provided me with the confidence to step in a leadership position where I was able to work with like-minded individuals who were all dedicated towards creating a conference that promoted and celebrated diversity.
