North Carolina Student Legislature empowers students to shape state politics
The North Carolina Student Legislature is a nonprofit organization that gives students firsthand experience of the legislative process at Elon University. Through debates, students enhance their public speaking skills and work on real-world policy ideas. Junior Eva Farmer, who serves as the vice president of Elon’s NCSL, explained that members bring resolutions to meetings — written proposals for new laws or changes to existing ones — sparking debates among the group. Every Monday, NCSL holds meetings where members propose resolutions on various topics, ranging from education to abortion and other pressing issues.
