Elon students celebrate cultural identity through on-campus clubs
From cultural celebrations to social advocacy, identity-based affinity groups shape student experiences at Elon University. These organizations provide students with spaces to connect over shared identities, experiences and interests while fostering inclusion and community across campus. Groups such as the Black Student Union, Asian-Pacific Student Association and Latinx-Hispanic Union give students opportunities to celebrate their culture, raise awareness and participate in meaningful campus events. “Especially at a PWI, it’s very important that Black students have somewhere to go because there are not many people that look like them,” sophomore and vice president of special events for BSU Damani Grayson said. “It’s really a home away from home.”
