The LGBTQIA Community Enrichment Award was established in 2012 to create opportunities to affirm and acknowledge the work alumni, faculty, and staff have done to uplift LGBTQIA people and causes on campus and in their communities at large. The Community Enrichment Awards recognize those individuals who have made and continue to make a positive impact and for their dedication to Elon and LGBTQIA communities. Selected recipients are honored at an awards ceremony during Homecoming.

Do you know someone we should recognize? Please submit your nominations for the 2027 honorees! Contact La’ Tonya Wiley ’97, Assistant Director for Affinity Alumni Engagement, at lwiley2@elon.edu with questions.

The Matthew Antonio Bosch Student Award honors a student who exemplifies leadership, fearless representation and a commitment to advocacy. Named in honor of Matthew Antonio Bosch, who served as director of Elon’s Gender and LGBTQIA Center from 2013–2019, the award recognizes students who demonstrate the courage, character and commitment to making Elon a more inclusive, affirming and welcoming community.

The selection committee will consider both the quality and demonstrated impact of a nominee’s contributions. Students do not need to demonstrate excellence in every area equally; however, the strongest nominations will reflect a clear pattern of leadership, advocacy, academic commitment and meaningful contribution to the Elon community.

The award will be presented during the Community Enrichment Awards ceremony during Homecoming.
