A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Pre-Serve is one of Elon’s First-Year Summer Experience (FSE) programs, designed to provide incoming students the opportunity to meet other first-year Elon students while engaging in exciting, new activities. Pre-Serve participants have the unique chance to get to know and build connections in the surrounding Burlington community before arriving on campus in the fall through doing service at a variety of agencies. In past years, Pre-Serve participants have worked to build houses with Habitat for Humanity, assisted with therapeutic riding lessons at Kopper Top Life Learning Center, worked with kids at the Boys and Girls Club, and served meals to the hungry at Allied Churches. Participants also have the experience of living on campus for the week of Pre-Serve, acquainting themselves with the campus through a variety of social activities with their fellow participants.
