This week I’ve been working on an article about religion and diversity on our campus. Something I was interested in learning about while exploring this topic is what things stand in the way of creating an entirely accepting and diverse environment on a college campus.

After attending this event, I feel like I’ve gained so much more of an understanding about the ways that environmental issues are being addressed at my school.

When I wrote last week’s blog, I was in the beginning stages of writing my article on Impact Day. I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to speak with Brittany Walker, the Elon senior responsible for organizing the event. My interview with Brittany was a really great experience, and it left me truly impressed with her drive to give back to the community.

This week I’m writing about Impact Day, an event taking place on Saturday devoted to getting organizations and individuals involved in community service. Covering this story has gotten me thinking about my own Elon community service experiences, which have been more minimal than I would like.
