SPRING 2026

We are excited to invite you to attend this year’s Intersect Diversity and Leadership Event in recognition of the National Day of Racial Healing, taking place on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in McKinnon.  This year, we are honored to welcome Spirit Tawfiq as our keynote speaker. Spirit is the daughter of Minnijean Brown-Trickey, one of the Little Rock Nine—the courageous group of students who integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Through her storytelling and leadership work, Spirit carries forward her mother’s powerful legacy of resilience, justice, and healing. The Intersect Diversity and Leadership event provides a unique opportunity for our community to reflect, connect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about identity, leadership, and social change.

 

During the Spring Semester, the Center for Leadership will offer a new leadership learning opportunity!  The Elevate Leadership Program is an immersive leadership experience designed for Elon students who are preparing for upcoming or current leadership roles. Elevate builds on the foundation of the Phoenix Leaders Program while remaining open to any Elon student interested in strengthening their leadership capacity and impact.
