What some ELC members have to say about their experiences:
“My favorite activities were the dinners with the professors. I got a chance to receive a home cooked meal and establish connections that will help me throughout my time at UNC Charlotte.”
“Since I came from a small town, I was nervous about coming to such a large school. However, the ELC introduced me to students who love literature as much as I do! I even met non-English majors at some of the events and became more involved.”
“The peer mentors and access to the academic support services helped me revise my papers and transition better into college writing and research.”
