Honors Program

Thirteen Elon students traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, March 2-4 for the Southeastern Commission for the Study of Religion (SECSOR), the annual regional meeting of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature.  Six of the students presented undergraduate research mentored by professors from the Department of Religious Studies, while the other seven observed in preparation for presenting in the future.

The annual trip helps build community among first-year Honors Fellows while they work in service of others. 

Past and current Honors Fellows, as well as friends of the program, are invited to join us for our fifth annual Homecoming tailgate.
