Elon University's annual school supply drive will return on Aug. 16, continuing throughout Planning Week.

More than 40 Elon students participated in summer internships throughout Alamance County as part of Elon’s Campus Alamance program. This year, the program placed a strong emphasis on the interns becoming contributing members of the organizations they work with.

Adventures in Leadership sessions focus on the successful transition of incoming first-year students through community building, finding resources and having conversations about college life at Elon.

Over multiple shifts, Elon in LA students helped prepare and deliver meals to local area non-profits and directly to community members in need.
