Residence Life is hosting a Campus and Community Resource Fair – Wednesday, Aug. 19 from 3-4:30pm in Sato Commons. While originally meant to be part of our student staff (RA+) training, we have expanded this event to invite other peer leaders across campus who will be around the week before move-in this fall. We may have close to 300 student leaders coming to learn about campus and community resources! We have shifted from calling this a Student Leader Resource Fair to a Campus and Community Resource Fair because we have invited all faculty/staff to come learn about key resources for supporting Elon students.  This event is meant to be an interactive tabling fair to provide resources to student leaders and faculty/staff – RAs, Sr. RAs, apartment managers, house managers, Elon 1010 peer educators, orientation leaders, etc. – to highlight what everyone needs to know to provide resources to students. We hope to have about 60 departments/tables for everyone to explore and interact with – including our Inclusive Excellence office!
