Under the stars: Elon University’s Black Student Union hosts first annual met gala
As the sun was setting, the party was just beginning at the Black Student Union met gala. Themed “A night under the stars,” the first annual event was held April 13 and brought together students from diverse backgrounds across corners of campus to revel in a night of celebration and camaraderie. For Elon University junior Madison Williams, the event held special significance. “This felt like my official prom,” Williams said. “I had a prom, but it was hosted by a student and their parents because it got canceled due to COVID, so this feels like an actual prom. It feels really good to be in a group of my peers and just party and dance the night away.”
