Elon University - Young Alumni Council

Young Alumni Council

Elon’s Young Alumni Council (YAC) seeks to strengthen connections between young alumni and the university. Established in 2007, YAC advises the Alumni Association and university on programs and services for young alums and current students. Young alumni, defined as graduates of the past 10 years, comprise 41 percent of all Elon graduates.

The YAC accepts nominations for new members each spring. We will be recruiting for the 2010 council beginning in the spring and summer of 2009, and will accept nominations from the Classes of 2002 to 2009. YAC members serve three-year terms and are selected based on their involvement with Elon and their community.

For more information on the YAC or the application process, contact Lindsay Hege ’04, Assistant Director of Alumni Relations for Young Alumni.

The YAC is involved with many events and programs each year, including the following:
