LIVE THE LEGACY

Becoming a part of the SLC is an

opportunity to join a vibrant network

of past SLC members. As an SLC

member, you will be able to connect

with upper-class students and alumni

who will become not only close

friends, but also strong mentors.

Many SLC members go on to hold

leadership positions within other

service organizations in the Kernodle

Center for Service Learning and

Community Engagement or serve as

officers for other student groups on

campus. Further, SLC alumni have

continued to commit themselves to

leadership and service beyond their

time at Elon through AmeriCorps,

Teach for America, and the Peace

Corps.

We hope that you will apply!

What is a living-learning

community?

A living-learning community is a group of students living in the same residential area who interact academically and socially with each other, staff, and faculty. Students in these communities participate in numerous activities that allow them to explore their shared area of interest. Who are we? The Service Learning Community is a group of 14 first-year students who share a common interest in service learning. As a floor, we create life-long bonds while learning to examine the meaning of our service. We strive to make service an integrated part of life. The SLC is also a great starting point for leadership opportunities on campus, especially with Elon Volunteers! and other service-oriented groups. The SLC is a diverse group of people who have different interests, majors, familiarity with service, and much more. Our dynamic community makes the SLC unique to the Elon experience and encourages students to develop personal and organizational ties that will last throughout their years at Elon.

“I love the SLC because I have found I need two things in college to be happy: a sense of community and opportunities to help others. The SLC provides both, a feat which no other opportunity on campus can say. In short--the SLC is about doing two things: making us smile and spreading that smile to others.”

—Will, Former SLC Leader

“The best choice I made when entering Elon was choosing to be in the Service Learning Community. I know that the second I enter the hall, I will be greeted by a family who loves me. Each person on this hall is driven, sincere, caring, and genuinely wants to make a difference in the world.”

-Eryn, Former SLC member
