Student Experience

Driven by a desire to transform education, Elon University Teaching Fellow Lily Ragals '26 has turned her undergraduate years into a global classroom, conducting state-conference research on autism representation in children's literature, studying inclusive education in New Zealand and exploring education policy in Washington, D.C.

The signature campus event provides an opportunity for Elon students to showcase their undergraduate research, one of the five Elon Experiences.

The student government associations at both institutions will meet virtually for the first time on April 24, 2026, with conversations expected around campus cultures, traditions and opportunities to collaborate as the two universities prepare to merge. 

The university's top undergraduate research award comes with $20,000 to support and celebrate academic and creative achievements.
