Greetings from Elon! Every generation of alumni has
experienced the transformational power of an Elon education
since our founding in 1889. Today, we are a leading liberal
arts university, offering our students a breadth of academic
opportunity in an intimate community renowned for active and
engaged learning.
In order to truly appreciate Elon's uniqueness on the
landscape of American higher education, you must pay a visit
to the campus, which has recently been designated a botanical
garden. Here, you will discover a true academic community.
Our faculty members are wonderful teacher-scholars who engage
students in the joy of discovery, helping them develop the
habits of mind that will prepare them for leadership in a
global age. Our staff members are committed to creating a
campus environment that allows learning to occur seamlessly
in and out of the classroom. And most important, you will
meet our students – talented, friendly,
community-minded, inquisitive, active learners. You will be
impressed by the spirit of Elon people!
We look forward to seeing you.
Leo M. Lambert
President
