We are very fortunate to have three fabulous interns this Spring. With our campus community dedicated to and focused on diversity and inclusion, Briana’s role in our office is increasingly important to what we do in admissions. Here’s a little more about what she does..
Hello, My name is Briana Alston! I am currently the Diversity Recruitment Intern, working with Natalie Garza. With a focus on researching methods of diversity recruitment and ensuring the comfort of prospective students of diverse backgrounds interested in Elon, I also assist Natalie and other counselors with office duties as well as admissions events. I graduated from Elon University this past January with a degree in Psychology. I had minors in Human Service Studies and Women/Gender Studies. I aspire to become a marriage and family counselor or school psychologist. My passion is to work with both students and family, especially of diverse backgrounds if possible, regardless of my area of work. During my undergraduate career I dedicated most of my time to Elon’s Finest hip hop dance team and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. I also participated through the CREDE (Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Diversity Education) in SMART and EFFECT, the Elon feminist organization. I also volunteer with Crossroads Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center.
