How can Alumni Association members help Elon?
As proud Elon graduates and members of the Alumni Association, you can help maintain strong connections to your alma mater by attending Elon events regularly and staying in touch with your classmates. In addition, annual gifts to Elon are encouraged to ensure that future generations of students receive the same excellent education that you enjoyed. Tuition covers only part of the cost of an Elon education. Elon relies on the generosity of alumni, parents and friends for the remaining support.
Are there groups within the Alumni Association?
Yes. Alumni who have graduated 50 or more years ago are called Golden Alumni. The class celebrating its 50-year reunion is traditionally inducted into the Golden Alumni group during Homecoming Weekend in the fall.
The Young Alumni group consists of alumni who graduated within the past 10 years. The Elon Alumni Association also has an active African-American Alumni group.
Where is the Alumni Office located?
The Office of Alumni Relations is located in Johnston Hall on South Campus at 123 S. Antioch Ave. Alumni are welcome to visit M-F, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
We maintain a database of more than 25,000 living alumni. Please be sure to keep your mailing address, phone number and e-mail address up to date with the Alumni Office. To update your contact information, click on the Update Your Information link to the right.
