Summer is here! We had a wonderful Commencement under the oaks in May with over 1,300 graduates of the class of 2009 and graduate programs. With summer comes acceptance letters for our incoming freshmen…we will be welcoming the Class of 2013 very soon. New families, keep an eye on our Summer Welcome Event page. Here we’ll be posting the schedule of events for our new families that are hosted by current families from all over the country. If you live near one of these events, you’ll be receiving an invitation in the mail soon. Summer Welcome Events are a great way to get to know other Elon families in your area. There will be current students and parents on hand to answer any questions you might have about starting college, coming to Elon, and more. 

I invite you to bookmark this page and return to it often. If you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for ThisWeek@Elon, a weekly electronic newsletter that will help keep you connected to Elon. If you are a new parent, be sure to check out our New Parents and Around Town links, which feature a parents guide, and lodging and restaurant information on campus, in Burlington and beyond.

Welcome to Elon!
