My experience at Elon was amazing...the faculty, staff and students made it a wonderful place to learn, grown and transition into adulthood. During my time, I was involved in Greek Life, SGA, Admissions, Multicultural Affairs, etc. I give back so that others may have the opportunities afforded to me such as study abroad and interactions with individuals from all walks of life. I truly love my alma mater and hope that we can increase our alum giving. LONG LIVE ELON!

The impact of the college experience is surreal. Much of what I gained as a student at Elon is still coming through today. Yes, seven years later, new lessons that stem from the friendships made at Elon continue a positive impact on my life. The bonds with professors and students alike are unheard of by my peers today. They envy the experience. Having these bonds instills a continuous sense of pride that keeps me proud to donate to the university. I am especially thankful to the Department of Political Science and to the NC Student Legislature. Both the department and organization helped me grow many more times than any other experience in life. Thank you Elon for making me the person I am and will always work to be.

I found mentors at Elon. Now a twenty-something editor in NYC, I wish I had as many advisers to turn to for guidance as I did during my tenure as a phoenix. That's the reason I take a trip down I-95 every year and re-connect with those directors. Look for me early April!
