Through a series of immersive excursions, students examined how art, architecture, and urban development intersect to shape the identity of Los Angeles, past and present.

Since 2008, Elon University students have participated in the Los Angeles program through Study USA and National Campus Programs.

Elon University Los Angeles launched a commitment to community service last year, which has since served to both immerse students into the community and culture of LA, as well as giving back to those in need.

The event was designed to give Elon Los Angeles students invaluable, face-to-face interactions with high-profile LA-based alumni who have established their prolific, professional careers in the city.

As members of the Elon University Los Angeles program, the students are encouraged to see themselves not just as visitors, but as active participants in the community's efforts to support those in need.

The viewing party and post-discussion encouraged students to look at the debate from a business, communication and public relations perspectives.
