Four students will “use their voices to advocate for a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive law school environment” while Associate Professor Tiffany Atkins L’11 works to support recommendations of the Law School Ad-Hoc Inclusive Excellence Strategic Planning Committee.
Elon Law has selected four students in the Class of 2023 as the inaugural cohort of a new Fellows program designed to enhance and promote inclusive excellence throughout the university’s downtown Greensboro campus community.
Joining them in their work is a professor selected as Elon Law’s inaugural Dean’s Faculty Fellow for Equity & Inclusion.
The four Student Diversity Fellows – Michelle Aguilar L’23, J.
