Campus Voice: Where are Elon’s Writing Center consultants of color?
For years, Elon University has worked toward expanding the diversity of the undergraduate student population. On-campus initiatives such as the CREDE or El Centro have all popped up in recent years as an attempt to draw more racially and socioeconomically diverse students into the student body. Our population views this as positive, because of its increase in our overall numbers — within two years our number of racially diverse students jumped from just 17 percent to a whopping 19 percent. But there is still an absence of students of color in many of Elon’s spaces: one in particular being the Center for Writing Excellence.
