Elon University Los Angeles hosts LA study away leadership meeting for discussion on academics, internships and shared opportunities for students in 2026
Nearly 20 universities and colleges from around the country offer study away programs in Los Angeles, including Elon’s own acclaimed Elon University Los Angeles immersive semester experience for undergraduate students. In September, Elon Los Angeles Director Brad Lemack and Program Assistant Macy Mills hosted the leadership from these programs for a lunch meeting and discussion that addressed academics, internships, housing and creating new opportunities in 2026 for students.
The LA Study Away Collective works together as a group to share events and gatherings that students from all member schools can participate in. Students from numerous study away LA programs have already participated in recent Elon University Los Angeles-produced events, affording students the opportunity for exposure to some of the cutting-edge programming Elon Los Angeles is offering. Students from different schools also have the opportunity to meet and connect with each other at these events throughout the year.
The Elon University Los Angeles leadership gathering was co-hosted by Larry Bond, owner of The Preserve, Elon LA’s Hollywood home base. Bond led the group on an informative tour of the historic Paul Williams-designed building and grounds, sharing the history of the historic landmark.
While each school’s Los Angeles study away program is designed to provide a unique LA experience to their students, each program is also uniquely crafted to the academic and experiential learning mission, brand and goals of each school.
From Study USA and National Campus Programs, Elon University Los Angeles has offered a semester-long, immersive academic, cultural, professional development, alumni engagement and community service program to Elon students since 2008.

Interested students can attend a meet-and-greet gathering with Lemack, Mills, Study USA director Ronice Johnson-Guy and National Campus Programs director Ashley Pinney, and others, on Monday, Oct. 6, from 3 – 5 p.m., at Irazu, located in the Mosely Student Center
