Student Involvement
Student Involvement is committed to providing student-centered activities, educational experiences, and leadership development opportunities that engage students through meaningful campus involvement. We create transformative co-curricular experiences that enhance student life, celebrate diversity, promote self-exploration, and broaden understanding of social responsibility. Our department serves to develop clear pathways for getting involved and connected by:
- Celebrating campus-wide traditions including College Coffee, Elonthon, and student tailgating
- Developing an inclusive programming calendar
- Providing Student Organization support
- Advising the Programming Board
- Offering resources for campus events and highlighting opportunities for involvement
We further support Elon’s academic mission by fostering opportunities for positive interactions, connecting the campus community, and encouraging learning to enhance the social, physical, intellectual, and cultural development of students.
Academic excellence is a student’s top priority, of course, but an education at Elon goes beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to get involved in campus programs and activities, which are vital to a well-rounded educational experience, and to participate in a variety of healthy student activities. To fulfill that mission, Student Involvement provides over 70 programs per semester through the work of the Student Union Board (SUB), Elonthon, Discover NC and other programs housed therein. Students can partake in a late night snack at Midnight Meals every Thursday night, some live entertainment at Taphouse every Friday night, or catch the latest pre-released movie at SUBCinema every Friday and Saturday evening in Turner Theater. Students can join friends at Phoenix Tailgating on home game Saturdays, visit a museum, the mall, or a Panthers game through Discover NC. Students can also start a new organization that fits their interests, dance the night away in support of Duke Children’s Hospital or attend one of our weekend events through Student Involvement.
