Dear Graduate Students at Elon, 

We hope this message finds you well. Our names are Brianna Torres and Casey Enright, and we are both officers of Elon’s Higher Education Student Association (HESA). As graduate students, we identified a glaring disconnection across graduate programs, when we in fact experience some of the same challenges due to the nature of our studies and positionalities on campus (or off campus). We thought it might be helpful to band together, those of us who are interested, to discuss the needs of graduate students, fellowship, and perhaps advocate for those identified needs with University administration and our respective leadership teams within our programs. If you’re interested in being a part of a “Graduate Council” where these kinds of conversations at regular meetings would take place, please fill out this interest survey below.
