Students can also learn more about study abroad and Study USA programs, whether they have already participated in a GEC program or are just beginning to explore global engagement opportunities.

“CommUnity on the Lawn is an opportunity to bring students together and celebrate the many experiences, backgrounds and perspectives that make up the Elon community,” said Rose Danthon, program coordinator. “We want all students to feel welcome, connected and encouraged to explore how study abroad, Study USA and other global opportunities might fit into their interests and goals.”

CommUnity on the Lawn reflects the GEC’s ongoing commitment to making global education accessible, welcoming, and inclusive. This event supports the broad participation that has helped Elon earn top national ranking for study abroad according to the Institute for International Education’s Open Doors Report.
