Community Engagement & Service

The MLK Student Build: Habitat for Humanity was one of many events organized in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day by Elon.

Zaken was selected as a member of the inaugural cohort, and will bring tools back to Elon to engage with Jewish social justice work

Three speakers will engage with the Elon community members on their respective religious and spiritual journeys.

Among those visiting Elon this year are actor BD Wong, civic engagement advocate Eric Liu, astronaut Leland Melvin and researcher Belle Liang.

The Elon junior will serve alongside five other members, including Assistant Professor Israel Balderas, who is the newly appointed chair of the Legal Defense Fund.

Led by Associate Professor Hal Walker, the service-learning class coordinated an October fundraiser to support the Burlington-based nonprofit organization.

The conference seeks to promote the work of women, to combat identity-based exploitation and marginalization and to educate and empower future audio professionals to create an environment of inclusion and diversity.

The year-long program will foster civic engagement, reflect on ideals of democracy and freedom, and increase college access for Alamance County high school seniors. It is funded by a $300,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation.

The Student Professional Development Center (SPDC) teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club of Alamance County to provide targeted career development workshops to a group of middle and high school students.

This fall Elon’s “It Takes a Village Project” was able to work with 11 of the 12 Title I elementary schools in the Alamance-Burlington School System thanks to a grant from the Oak Foundation.
